There is a discussion on the LLVM mailing list about changing exception handling in LLVM: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-December/036692.html If the new model is not generic enough to support OCaml's model, then I think now would be a good time to describe on the LLVM ML what OCaml's model would need and the proposal doesn't cover.
