+ /* We add an NOP here to separate between __setcontext/__startcontext.
+ The wanted behavior that happens is: when unwinding from a function

+ '&__startcontext - 1', then returns NULL for no FDE found,
+ and immediately ends the unwind, in a normal fashion.
+
+ If this NOP word does not exist, FDE lookup just repeatedly finds
+ __setcontext's FDE in an infinite loop, due to the convention of
