Seems the added  `-fno-rtti` setting makes no difference for libfontmanager (I 
just took it over from the hotspot compile flags).  But the  `-fno-exceptions` 
setting helps to reduce the lib size and helps us to avoid the 
`text.__cxa_throw` related error when using ltgc with some devkits.

David @dholmes-ora , can you maybe test it in your CI ?
