The ElfConvert routines in GenFw don't handle the ".eh_frame" ELF section
emitted by gcc. For this reason, Leif disabled the generation of that
section for AARCH64 with "-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" in commit
28e80befa4 [1], and Ard did the same for IA32 and X64 in commit
26ecc55c02 [2]. (The CLANG38 toolchain received the same flag at its
inception, in commit 6f756db5ea [3].)
However, ".eh_frame" is back now; in upstream gcc commit 9cbee213b579 [4]
(part of tag "gcc-8_1_0-release"), both "-fasynchronous-unwind-tables" and
"-funwind-tables" were made the default for AARCH64. (The patch author
described the effects on the gcc mailing list [5].) We have to counter the
latter flag with "-fno-unwind-tables", otherwise GenFw chokes on
".eh_frame" again (triggered for example on Fedora 28).
"-f[no-]unwind-tables" goes back to at least gcc-4.4 [6], so it's safe to
add to GCC_AARCH64_CC_FLAGS.
