We don't use non-ascii identifiers in libgcj.
However, the ability to use these is part of the Java language
specification. So we have a strong preference for supporting them on
all platforms. We already do that by mangling the identifiers when we
see a non-ascii character.
We're only concerned with compatibility with g++ here. It doesn't
matter to us whether C does or does not mangle symbols on a given
platform.
