I honestly don't know with the new EH. Previously the alpha port needed
sjlj-exceptions for signal handling. I guess that the new implementation
allows `throw' within a handler without special tricks?
>From a quick glance, it looks like the setting in configure.host no longer
does anything useful. Sjlj must be enabled or disabled when gcc is
configured, and cannot be arbitrarily changed in libgcj, right?
Since the merge I haven't been able to test either alpha-linux or
sparc-solaris since both are failing miserably. I haven't looked
carefully at the new EH. I don't know if anyone is looking at these, and
I have neither the time nor expertise to do much about it right now :(
