A little remark from a gcc outsider:

 To me using #include (or separate directories that are entered confitionally)
 seem to be the much better approach.

 On the other hand gcj already is doing the symlink approach, and changing this
 for a single file seems to be a very bad idea.

 If I were you I'd decouple the dicsussion of fixing it from your java.nio
 implementation.
