Hi Benjamin!

There is some progress but not too much. My LLVM patch for EH 
handling had 5 parts and of these 5 parts only 3 passed the 
review and I could commit them. For the remaining 2 parts:

- a convincing argument for the LLVM reviewers would be clang 
support
- there is a bug in the stack alignment code which leads to 
compile time failures
- dead epilogue code is still removed which leads to runtime 
crashes

On LDC side exception chaining is not implemented (but this is 
not a major issue compared with the other topics).

I am still working on these topics - I currently try to fix the 
stack alignment issue.
