Yeah, reading through the release notes, it seems there're a bunch of
modifications.

FYI, I got this problem with glibc about 1 years before, and put the
special patch to use sjlj exception for arm, m68k and hppa with
Philip. Ulrich said he didn't think to keep sjlj exception
consideration. See debian/patches in glibc:
50_glibc232-arm-dwarf2-buildfix.dpatch
50_glibc232-m68k-dwarf2-buildfix.dpatch
50_glibc232-hppa-full-nptl-2003-10-22.dpatch
I don't know when we should do ARM dwarf2 exception transition. IIRC,
Philip Blundell said ARM new ABI would use dwarf2 exception, so we
might wait for that transition, but I don't know the status of ARM new
ABI. Philip?
