If you writing C code, you only need those sections if you care about
walking up the stack at runtime, as in the glibc backtrace function.  If
you don't care about that--most programs don't--then you don't need
these sections.  In that case you should consider not generating them in
the first place, e.g., by using the gcc option -fno-unwind-tables when
you compile.
