Comment (by gk):

 I am still waiting of Jacek's but it seems to me the two obvious blockers
 are SEH support and getting that assembly code in
 `SmartSidestepResolverThunk::SmartStub()` ported. Not sure what to do
 about the assembly but https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/WindowsGCCImprovements
 mentions Casper Hornstrup having created an initial implementation that
 did not make it into GCC mainline. Code not being in GCC mainline is no
 issue for us in general, so maybe we should try to dig that code up and
 see whether we can get it to work with GCC 5? Or even better getting
 Casper to make it work?
