I just did the same experiment on the branch...

It turns out there is very little C++ usage of new/delete in libjava.
It is trivial to replace these with malloc/free (patch below).  The
remaining uses of `new' are all performed on Java and don't need symbols
from libsupc++ at all (since Java uses its own GC-based allocators).

The only symbol left from EH was std::terminate.  This is generated by the
c++ frontend in the cleanup code for JvSynchronize.  (I don't know 
if that's a c++ requirement, but it's reasonable since JvSynchronize is
a true c++ class.)  It is easy to provide a replacement for
std::terminate() without any symbol conflict-- it relies only on
__terminate which is found in libgcc_s.  So I suspect the concerns over
symbol duplication between libgcj and libstdc++ are largely unfounded.

Having removed libsupc++ from my tree, the testsuite completes once again
with no regressions.
