[Bug java/21045] New: Anonymous inner class constructor's exceptions can't be caught or thrown

When a method creates an instance of an anonymous inner class, it must catch or
declare any exceptions throwable by the inner class's constructor.

GCJ gives an error about this even though the method *does* handle or declare
it: (Will attach test cases...)

$ gcj -c  FailThrow.java
FailThrow.java: In class 'FailThrow$1':
FailThrow.java: In constructor '(FailThrow)':
FailThrow.java:6: error: Exception ‘java.lang.Exception’ must be caught, or it
must be declared in the ‘throws’ clause of ‘FailThrow$1’.
                InnerBase obj = new InnerBase() {};
                                       ^
1 error

Creating an instance of the base class, with the same constructor, works fine.
