I think, then, that it would be an OK intermediate state to import
libgcj without libtool support.  That will loose the shared library
support on platforms where none of the other languages have shared
libraries, either.  Then, we should explore various ways of getting
support for shared libraries on more systems.

Alternatively, we could convert the existing run-time library builds
to use the libgcj procedure first, and then import libgcj.  

I'd prefer we not end up with shared libraries being build for some
language-support libraries, and not others.
