I see.

AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER is also defined in libjava/libltdl/acinclude.m4.

In this file, there already is case:

kfreebsd*-gnu)
  version_type=linux
  need_lib_prefix=no
  need_version=no   
  library_names_spec='${libname}${release}${shared_ext}$versuffix ${libname}${release}${shared_ext}$major ${libname}${shared_ext
  soname_spec='${libname}${release}${shared_ext}$major'
  shlibpath_var=LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  shlibpath_overrides_runpath=no
  hardcode_into_libs=yes
  dynamic_linker='GNU ld.so'
  ;;

I would be happy with importing this chunk into libjava/shlibpath.m4

The previously proposed patch should be consistent with future libtool,
see http://www.mail-archive.com/libtool-patches@gnu.org/msg02318.html

Both approaches are sufficient for gcj on GNU/kFreeBSD.
