Ok, that makes sense, thanks for updating me.

I was thinking I could add a cmake config check that would detect a gcc that
does not use CFI/dwarf, and omit the cfi_escape directive in this case. But I
suppose it is not worth it when it only happens with an incorrectly built gcc?
Missing dwarf information in the generated binaries seems likely to cause
other problems as well...

Thanks,
