Yeah, that must be what I remember.

For my purposes, it doesn't matter exactly what approach we take, as
long as we just pick one and document it.  I think the affected code
in gcjx is just a single line.  If/when the CHAR_TYPE removal resumes,
handling debug info properly ought to be a new requirement on the
solution.
