That's a good thing, overall. But it might mean porting to new platforms or other environments (e.g., using libguile) has a higher initial cost than necessary, if it requires making unexec work. True, but new platforms are rare these days, so I suppose it is not worth fixing CANNOT_DUMP in anticipation.
