[Bug objc++/23616] New: obj-c++.dg/try-catch-2.mm (objc exceptions are broken) fails with the GNU Runtime

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

obj-c++.dg/try-catch-2.mm fails with:
/tmp/ccYlrE11.o(.gcc_except_table+0x18): undefined reference to `typeinfo for Frob*'


Which means we are trying to use the C++ style exceptions instead of objc exceptions.

Though this is harder to fix correctly (I have to look into how the C++ front-end implements "java" 
exceptions).

try-catch-9.mm fails the same way:
/tmp/ccgh94EZ.o(.gcc_except_table+0x14): undefined reference to `typeinfo for Object*'

The fix would be change choose_personality_routine but that would mean you cannot mix C++ and 
Objc exceptions in one TU.  So far there are no tests for this.  I might implement the change to the 
ObjC and C++'s to implement this but I am not going to do it until 4.2.  Maybe by then we can mix 
them but I really doubt it.
