+/* We add an NOP here to separate between __setcontext/__startcontext. The
+ wanted behavior that happens is: when unwinding from a function called
+ inside a makecontext() context, FDE lookup will use '&__startcontext - 1',
+ then returns NULL for no FDE found, and immediately ends the unwind, in
+ a normal fashion.
+
+ If this NOP word does not exist, FDE lookup just repeatedly finds
+ __setcontext's FDE in an infinite loop, due to the convention of using
+ 'address - 1' for FDE lookup. Modifiying/deleting the below
+ __startcontext's FDE has no help on this. */
