I don't think it'd be worth the effort, and I think the burden of
computing feasibility should rest with those who think it _is_ worth the
effort.

A completely arbitrary datapoint:

dmt:~% file /lib64/* | grep ELF.*shared | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs nm -aDu | grep -c setjmp
79

At a minimum you'd have to rewrite freetype, have fun with that.
