This patch to the go tool in libgo changes it to use -funwind-tables
when compiling C code to support the cgo tool. Using -funwind-tables
is necessary to permit Go code to correctly throw a panic through C
code. This hasn't been necessary in the past as -funwind-tables is
the default on x86. However, it is not the default for PPC AIX, among
other systems. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
