At one time there was a different GC written for gcj. I'm not sure
whether it was ever released to the public. It was written by a
customer of Cygnus a long time ago.
I don't remember how it differed from the existing GC. I know it was
also conservative, though.
Also a long time ago someone added write barriers to GCC. This work
was never merged in. I don't recall if there was a new libgcj GC to
go along with that.
