My understanding is that when we do this internally, we always run
dejagnu in a fresh directory away from both the build and install
trees.  So if your change is robust in the face of that, then I think
it will be ok.  Maybe you could just change your patch to test for the
existence of $objdir/../libgcj-3.1.jar before adding a -I for it?
What do you think of that?

Also, we haven't done this kind of testing recently (this year at
least).  I assume that I'll end up fixing bugs in it if we need it to
work again.
