According to your Makefile.in, you're using automake 1.4-p5:

Anyway, digging through the Makefile.in and Makefile, it looks like we
try to tell libtool to use g++ to link the library.  Is this what you
see at `make' time?  (Something like "libtool --mode=link g++ ...")

If so, then you've probably hit a libtool problem.

__gxx_personality_v0 is definitely not used for Java exceptions.  It
is the personality function for non-sjlj C++ exceptions.  Java
exceptions use __gcj_personality_*; see gcc/libjava/except.cc.

Also note there is some text in the gcc manual describing what you
must do in this area.  Search for -shared-libgcc.

However, it seems to me that (1) libtool probably should handle this
automatically, and (2) libtool should be using g++ to link for you
anyway, in which case g++ itself handles this problem.
