This patch can cause an ICE when the super-class is byte-compiled.
If a byte-compiled method M in a super-class throws exception X,
we try to emit an erroneous error message that M can't throw X
(because we don't analyze the bytecode). Worse, because M
doesn't have DECL_FUNCTION_WFL set, we get an ICE in parse_error_context.
The problem is check_interface_throws_clauses, which seems to be doing way
too much work ... it should be not be checking that
"The exception must be a subclass of an exception thrown" in super-classes.
