What guarantees this would work and we won't hit some corner case or
toolchain configuration this hasn't been tested on?

If that happens, I need to have a state to revert back to, i.e., this
patch, discarding .eh_frame explicitly.

So I'll pick up [1] too, but give people a couple of days - a chance to
complain about. :)
