Sounds like a an incomplete GC port, perhaps.  Or maybe a configury
buglet or the like.

One place to start with problems like this is by looking at the
upstream GC.  We haven't done a GC import in a while; if an import
would fix this then that would be good...

Threads are really required for anything resembling a proper gcj port.
The no-threads code originated in the earliest days, before we had any
working threading code, and we kept it around as a porting aid.  At
least, that is how I see it.

So, sorry it is broken.  I'll accept any patch to make it compile
again; adding a dummy definition is just fine.
