I have an existing build of libgcj installed. Then I changed
libgcj.spec and rebuilt. In the rebuild libgcj gets built with the
libgcj.spec of the previous install instead of the modified version in
target/libjava/libgcj.spec.
It took me a while to figure out why the new specs were not being used.
Doing a cut and paste from the make output and adding -v yields
something like this:
/newdisk/programs/mipsel-gccmaincvs/gcc/gcj
-B/newdisk/programs/mipsel-gccmaincvs/gcc/
-B/home/test35/mipsel-linux/bin/ -B/home/test35/mipsel-linux/lib/
-isystem /home/test35/mipsel-linux/include -isystem
/home/test35/mipsel-linux/sys-include --encoding=UTF-8 -Wno-deprecated
-fclasspath=
-fbootclasspath=/newdisk/programs/mipsel-gccmaincvs/mipsel-linux/libjava
-mxgot -g -O2 -MD -MT java/math/BigInteger.o -MF java/math/BigInteger.o
-c -MT java/math/BigInteger.o -MD -MP -MF java/math/.deps/BigInteger.Tpo
-c ../../../gccmaincvs/gcc/libjava/java/math/BigInteger.java -fPIC -v -o
java/math/.libs/BigInteger.o
Reading specs from /newdisk/programs/mipsel-gccmaincvs/gcc/specs
Reading specs from /home/test35/mipsel-linux/lib/libgcj.spec
rename spec lib to liborig
.

.
Where /newdisk/programs/mipsel-gccmaincvs is the build dir and
/home/test35 is the --prefix.
So as you can see, it is getting libgcj.spec from the previous install
rather than the current build.
The obvious workaround is to make install with the new specs file and
then do another clean build so that the libgcj build uses the proper specs.
FYI I guess, if someone gives guidance I may try to fix it.
