It seems to me that either there is some other language which needs this
-- in which case that language ought to have testing for the feature --
or the feature is only used by gcj, in which case it doesn't matter.

Of course is!=ought; but relying on gcj and libjava to provide this
small amount of testing seems like a bad cost/benefit tradeoff.


Go does use asynchronous exceptions, and has test cases that rely on
them working.
If you're comfortable with Go at this point and we have mechanisms in place to ensure Go only gets built on platforms that support Go, then I think we should go forward with replacing GCJ with Go.
