The Java front end uses function-at-a-time mode when compiling from
Java source (not when reading class files).  Unfortunately it works
differently from the C and C++ front ends, so the C/C++ tree
optimizations can't be used.  I think if you're interested in
function-at-a-time for a non-C language in order to get optimizations,
then you're in for a lot of work.
