Ah, but i386 and x86-64 do not:

libunwind-i386/include/libunwind.h:typedef long double unw_tdep_fpreg_t;
libunwind/include/libunwind.h:typedef long double unw_tdep_fpreg_t;
libunwind-ppc64/include/libunwind.h:typedef long double unw_tdep_fpreg_t;
libunwind-x86_64/include/libunwind.h:typedef long double unw_tdep_fpreg_t;

where to the SSE registers fit in to this?

Yes, I noticed that too.  Me thinks it would be safer to remove "long
double" and declare fpreg_t only in terms of (known-size) integer
types.  Arun, what do you think?
