Re: [PATCH] gas: Add AArch64 Windows SEH (pdata/xdata) support

Jan Beulich questions a resubmitted patch for AArch64 Windows SEH support in gas, noting that similar work is already in progress (v12) and that the author might need to provide a Statement of Biography (S-o-B) if they are not a known contributor. The original author, responding to Beulich’s previous comments, explains that the patch was resubmitted due to an unblocked port and that previous bugs were distinct from x86_64 issues.
