Okay... I also noticed that the linker script had to go out of its way
to ensure that crtbegin.o (__CRT_LIST__) came before .ctors, but it
didn't have to do the same thing for __JCR_LIST__... do you know why
that is the case?

I dunno, more isolation.  Just curious if it had to be that way.  If I
get --gc-sections working, it would be easier if I could confine my
changes to libgcj and gcc/java/*.
