    No question about that!  The issue here was front ends that *do not* use
    the EH tree codes.

Why does the question affect these front ends?  It can only be
because GCC output code, in certain cases, to support error handling,
even in functions that don't use error handling constructs.

Why would GCC do that?  Surely because that code is needed to make
these functions interoperate properly with the use of EH in other functions.

In such a case, GCC should do that for all languages, even languages
that have no EH constructs of their own.  Because those languages
should interoperate properly with the languages that do have EH constructs.
