Actually that patch caused a bootstrap failure even before libjava was
compiled.  See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2008-06/txt00007.txt
for the log.  Though it really depends on memory layout and other
factors when (and if) the build fails since it was an use after a
free.

So in summary that patch is not a good example of breaking libjava at all.

Thanks,
