Most likely: I've manually copied a gcc 3.0.5 libgcj.so{,.2} to $prefix/lib
and manually re-run the jv-convert link command: I don't see any accesses
(neither successful nor failed) to $prefix/lib/libgcj.so in truss output,
only to the copy inside the build dir.

Indeed: I'd have expected the ld error Gerald reported if the problem
persisted, but the link succeeded without errors.

Perhaps Gerald could retry a bootstrap (if the current branch bootstraps on
Solaris 2.8) to be extra sure this works? I'm still working off a 20020313
tree right now.
