SIGSEGV if compiled with -fexceptions #52

Description

@Narrat

Hello,
there is a curious case with makepkg from Arch Linux involved.
The default config uses the following build flags:

#-- Compiler and Linker Flags
#CPPFLAGS=""
CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions \
        -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security \
        -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS"

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/blob/main/makepkg.conf?ref_type=heads#L41

If slurm gets compiled with said -fexceptions it will instantly segfault with SIGSEGV upon executing the binary.
Which seems odd?

-fexceptions

Enable exception handling. Generates extra code needed to propagate exceptions. For some targets, this implies GCC generates frame unwind information for all functions, which can produce significant data size overhead, although it does not affect execution. If you do not specify this option, GCC enables it by default for languages like C++ that normally require exception handling, and disables it for languages like C that do not normally require it. However, you may need to enable this option when compiling C code that needs to interoperate properly with exception handlers written in C++. You may also wish to disable this option if you are compiling older C++ programs that don’t use exception handling.

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#index-fexceptions

So it shouldn't be the cause, as this a C based program? But somehow it is.
And maybe it's related to the various warnings from the compiler?
