 * in libgcc when unwinding out of a SIGCANCEL handler to invoke pthread
 * cleanup handlers during the thread cancellation dance. By omitting the
 * directives, we trigger an arm64-specific fallback path in the unwinder which
 * recognises the signal frame and restores many of the registers directly from
 * the sigcontext. Re-enabling the cfi directives here therefore needs to be
 * much more comprehensive to reduce the risk of further regressions.
