Java does have its own -- __gcj_personality_v0.

The problem at the moment is that the c++ front end uses the existance
of a throw or a catch of a Java object to determine that we should be
emulating Java exception handling in this module.  We really ought to
be using a pragma instead so that it is (1) affirmative and (2) works
with only cleanups present.
