libgcj needs a number of patches for ARM Linux (well from the
libgcj-snapshot-1999-06-23 snapshot anyway).  I have one zip, and half of
the one for boehm-gc, just not the assembly part of this one for garbage
collection.  Although I believe someone else may be working on this.

Red Hat 6.0 shipped with binutils 2.9.1.0.23, so you might want that one.

I use binutils 2.9.1.0.23 on Linux ARM (armv4l), without all that many
problems.  Not certain if I'll upgrade to 2.9.4 before I do my next
release of Titan.
