Asynchronous unwind tables are enabled for aarch64, i686,
ppc64le, s390x, and x86_64. They are not needed on armhfp due to
architectural differences in stack management. On these
architectures, `-fexceptions` (see above) still enables regular
unwind tables (or they are enabled by default even without this
option).
