By silent I meant that running "make install" did not report any obvious 
errors and appeared to complete normally, but libgcj.so.2.0.0 was not 
copied to the $prefix/lib directory. Thus an old libgcj was still there, 
and I spent a while trying to figure out why a bug I thought I'd fixed 
was still occuring ;-)

OK, after blowing away my build directory and doing a complete rebuild, 
it appears that this was the problem. Sorry.

BTW, do you know how to stop libtool doing a "relink" of libgcj.la on 
every "make install"? It does not do this for libstdc++ so it appears to 
be something libjava is doing?
