We currently throw exceptions from signal handlers (e.g., for
Quit/ctrl-c). But throwing C++ exceptions from signal handlers is
undefined. (That doesn't restore signal masks, like siglongjmp does,
and, because asynchronous signals can arrive at any instruction, we'd
have to build _everything_ with -fasync-unwind-tables to make it
reliable.) It happens to work on x86_64 GNU/Linux at least, but it's
likely broken on other ports.
Until we stop throwing from signal handlers, use setjmp/longjmp based
exceptions in C++ mode as well.
