Thanks,  this seems to have gotten me by that problem.  I attached a patch for
the change I made to Makefile.in.

I wasn't aware I was until I looked.  It automatically configured for it.

javaop.h and gjavah.c.   WORDS_TO_DOUBLE assembled doubles incorrectly, and the
NaN mask in gjavah.c was incorrect when FLOAT_WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN is true.  I will
send the patch to gcc-patches with a proper changelog entry.

It's a futures assignment so it should be ok.

Don't bother, I was just curious.  I'm not ready to submit changes for libgcj
yet.  I need to get it to build and test it first.  I'll cross that bridge when
I come to it.
