I'm currently travelling. I will add it to my tree when I return and it's
a little more convenient. The patch looks fine to me.
GC 6.5 should be fine to merge. I added one minor patch since then
that's relevant to gcj, but it's certainly not critical. And we could
merge it later.
Solaris/X86 still appears to be a problem for 6.5. But the solution there
seems to be to switch to the standard pthread support, which makes it a
major change.
