compiler: -fexceptions hardening

This hardens multi-threaded C. Without it, the implementation of thread cancellation handlers (introduced by pthread_cleanup_push) uses a completely unprotected function pointer on the stack. This function pointer can simplify the exploitation of stack-based buffer overflows even if the thread in question is never canceled.
