labelled "Use sjlj for exceptions".
--------------------------------
Symptoms:
Installing the C library headers and start files fails because of
missing unwind support, with a message like:
configure: error: forced unwind support is required
Explanations:
The issue seems to be related to building NPTL on old versions
of glibc (and possibly eglibc as well) on some architectures
(seen on powerpc, s390, s390x and x86_64).
Fix:
None so far. It would require some glibc hacking.
Workaround:
Try setting "Force unwind support" in the "C-library" menu.
