Hi Simon,

However, I also think it would be a good idea to have an assembler
option to not create the unwind information.

Strongly agreed :-)  I can come up with a patch, but I'm not sure what a
good option name would be.  --no-auto-eh-frame seems a little unwieldy.

How about: --no-create-eh-frame ?

I see no problem with long switch names. It is better that they are expressive and tell the user what they are doing. Shorter, more compact switch names are often confusing and can lead to user misunderstanding.

Cheers
  Nick
