In an ideal world, we would just merge =
https://github.com/libcxxrt/libcxxrt/commit/88bdf6b290da2f32fe212564bfad9c=
61481fb878 ("Specify double-word alignment for ARM unwind. This matches =
the latest revisions from libunwind.") and the corresponding =
https://github.com/libcxxrt/libcxxrt/commit/b96169641f794f7b8e28c1b78b66bb=
780445d0cd ("Updated Itanium unwind. This matches the latest revisions =
from libunwind."). Then at least libcxxrt's and libunwind's idea of the =
struct layouts and alignments would be the same.

However, that would still affect older __cxa_exception and =
_Unwind_Exception consumers, at least those that rely explicitly on the =
old sizes and alignments of those structs. We could bump libcxxrt.so to =
.2, but then we'd still have to maintain the old .1 version for those =
old consumers.

Btw, now that I think about it, I think we merged the unwind.h changes =
for 13.1, and we should really fix them up before 13.1 goes out the =
door.
