The gcj runtime still needs -fsjlj-exceptions on some platforms. There is
no conflict with "normal" EH (whatever we call it) since java does not
handle c++ exceptions and the runtime is built uniformly with sjlj EH.
Moving sjlj to a configure-time option would result in two builds for some
users, one with sjlj and one without. (Note libjava/configure
already recognizes --enable-sjlj-exceptions to override the default.)
