Cool. libgcj still won't run on linux/sparc, though, as the current gc
doesn't have a GC_Test_and_set() implementation for sparc.
I noticed that Hans has recently posted a new gc on his website, which
falls back to the linuxthreads locks on platforms that don't have a
GC_Test_and_set implementation, along with other improvements. Is anyone
planning to merge this into libgcj soon?
