  When I use the --disable-multilib on the configure command, the
compilation works
fine for the ffi libraries.

   The --disable-multilib flag does not solve the problem with the
GC_dlopen
command.  This problem exists until I configure without posix thread
support.


    OK - so using the flags --disable-multilib and not enabling posix
support
I am able to get a clean compile straight from the CVS sources.  The
only
problem is then I core dump when I try to run some java code compiled to
native.
When I compile without posix support and manually adjust Makefile's so
that I can compile, the resultant libgcj does let me run (at least
simple java
programs)


   Is there any documentation (besides the code) that someone could
point
me to on what multilib is and what it is trying to do?
