libgcj must also be compiled with this option.

The option might be baked into libgcj.spec, and thus used even though
you aren't aware of it.  Or, maybe this code used to work and there
has been a regression, I don't know.  Or if that gcj came with your
OS, maybe there are changes local to FreeBSD.
