My comment is(was) not on the format of the patch. Instead, I am
thinking whether Android toolchain customer, which is Android AOSP,
wants this patch.

I don't know the scenario behind this patch. I think the question
behind this patch is, if RTTI and exceptions are enabled by default,
who is supposed to handle RTTI and exceptions by default? The answer
is no answer, for now.

Android AOSP tree provides very limited C++ support. Android NDK
provides four options for C++ support. Some of the options support
both exceptions and rttit, some options only support rtti.

Therefore I guess Android AOSP probably would not like to enable
exceptions and RTTI by default.

Questions/complaints/requests on Android limited C++ support, should
go to Android forum.
Questions about license concerns, should go to Android AOSP lawyer.

Thanks,
Jing
