The attached patch enables the EH Frame Registry to be explicitly disabled
with a configure option "-disable-eh-frame-registry", thereby removing code to
support it in crtstuff.c

Default behaviour is unchanged since USE_EH_FRAME_REGISTRY was previously
referenced only internally in crtstuff.c, and now is only defined to 0
when it would previously have not been defined at all.

I retract this patch, since I have found a better solution to the problem this
was going to solve.

Passing "-U__LIBGCC_EH_FRAME_SECTION_NAME__" when building crtstuff.c objects
completely removes references to .eh_frame.

The original patch still resulted in the .eh_frame section being created,
since code to add a 4byte NULL sentinel to the end of the section was retained.

If someone thinks the original patch might still be useful, I can go ahead and
commit it anyway.

+Disable the EH frame registry in libgcc.  It is enabled in libgcc by default
+for most ELF targets.
+
+This should not be used unless exceptions have been disabled for the target
+configuration.
+
+This option reduces code size by removing functionality to register the
