IIRC from upthread the main reason to keep one of these languages is
-fnon-call-exceptions testing.
How about just writing some tests for that, in C++? It may not be quite
as good but it seems like it could be a reasonable first pass; with more
obscure issues caught by subsequent testing, much as is the case for
non-core targets.
The biggest issue with this approach is when we find a
non-call-exceptions issue, the source language for the testcase is going
to likely be Java, Ada or Go. Converting that to C++ can be a bit painful.
I'd certainly like to see such tests, but I fear getting any kind of
decent coverage (relative to what we get today building Ada or GCJ) is
going to take a *long* time.
