I tried a clean build on my powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu box and had the
problem that on a clean build the dependant libraries (lib-java-awt.so,
lib-java-applet.so, lib-java-beans.so) are not built automatically. I
build them by hand by doing "make lib-java-awt.la", etc and then
libgcj.so got linked successfully. I think some dependency is missing
but at first look into differences to old java-gui-branch I found
nothing obvious.

Another problem was when trying to link lib-javaxio-image.so. It linked
libgcj.so which linkes in lib-javax-imageio. Some kind of circular
dependency.

Someone with similar problems building from a clean CVS checkout from
today (after the merge) ? Andreas Tobler told me on IRC that he had much
less trouble building on Darwin.
