The one that puts -lc ahead of -lpthread? I reported it a while back,
then promptly forgot about it again.
I'm not fully convinced it's a libtool bug anyway. I've got some pending
fixes to libjava/Makefile.am that might help. Then again, if we stop
pulling in libsupc++ it'll disappear anyway.

I have reservations about using libtool for the testsuite, frankly...
it changes the link order and can mask subtle problems with libgcj.spec.
For building libgcj proper there's still no alternative to libtool.
