Yeah, I used the "automake for gcj" which is at
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/.0/sourceware/java/automake-gcj-1.4.tar.gz

As far as I know, this is just automake 1.4 hacked to not complain about files
in subdirectories. It seems a bit crap if we have to use different versions of
automake for different directories in gcc, especially if one of the required
automakes is a mysterious snapshot version.

I'm going to try checking in this patch. This changes libffi configure to do
_exactly_ what libjava does to create its subdirectories. Please let me know if
it helps.
