Hi Andrew,
Thanks for responding.

I did this for the few select files I mentioned in my previous post. Is it
"okay" to do this for all of the files? Reading the documentation, I got
the impression that the more that -mlongcall could be avoided, the better,
but am not sure if that impression is correct.

Because my "boss" (the person giving me project work) says it needs
to be static :) This is probably because he wants:
- a small-sized image that can be downloaded from the Internet
without having to bundle all of libgcj
- to be free from the obligation of having to supply the source code for
libgcj
