This means --enable-native-libs is now broken. Results in:

hipe.erl: native-code compilation failed because of an unimplemented 
instruction (catch).

That's a bit rough.

Is HiPE just going to slowly rot or are there plans to revive it somehow 
(official or not)? Wondering if I should just give up on testing against it.
