+our code: same binary runs fine outside the harness.)
-  `eh.typeid.for` calls to use typeinfo addresses as selectors.
-  Throw/catch round-trip works end-to-end **when driven from
-  pure C** (smoke test "SJLJ exception runtime"); the C++
-  frontend path crashes at runtime because clang's `-O2`
-  lowering of the volatile call_site store before `__cxa_throw`
-  routes the value to the wrong stack address — a separate
-  W65816 isel bug for `store volatile i32 N, <stack-relative GEP>`
-  that needs its own debugging session.  Until that's fixed,
-  raw C code can use the SJLJ runtime directly; C++ `try/catch`
-  still requires `-fno-exceptions`.
