The most sensible approach would be adding SEH support to LLVM. Neither Tomas nor me are planning to do it though. We hope that someone who actually develops on Windows will volunteer. As clang and llvm-gcc would also benefit from it, this might do well as a Summer of Code project at LLVM. From what I hear exception support in LLVM is due for a revamp anyway, so anyone attempting to do this would probably get a chance to help redesign the infrastructure and be well supported by the LLVM devs.
