I did read your email to the end, but I really dont like the compiler abuse. I
seriously would just do something like:

extern void EH_prolog();

__asm__(
	".globl EH_prolog		"
	"EH_prolog:			"
	"	pushl $0xff		"
	"	pushl %eax		"
	"	pushl %fs:0		"
	"	movl %esp, %fs:0	"
	"	movl 12(%esp), %eax	"
	"	movl %ebp, 12(%esp)	"
	"	leal 12(%esp), %ebp	"
	"	pushl %eax		"
	"	ret			"
);

Which is a lot neater imho and retains all the magic optomized as asm. If you
really really really want to use the C function there is a gcc __attribute__
thing which you can use to signify that the function doesn't return,
__attribute__((noreturn)) iirc.
