GNU C cleanups only work when compiling with -fexceptions.

C++ is an ugly and bloated language, and not as widely available as you
think.  To use it in Emacs for something as important as modules would
be a shame.

Either way, we don't expect to survive a C++ exception, so why cater
specifically to C++'s stack unwinding?
