Re: GCJ not using java.lang.Exception in libgcj.jar??

[Edgar Villanueva <edgar at villanueva dot com>]

To do the equivalent in gcj you whould have to replace the java.lang.Exception code
in libgcj.so.   That's where you would actually replace it, not in libgcj.jar

Of course libgcj.jar still needs to be updated.
