When you guys are done....

What is the proper way to create a shared library from a set of .o files in this case generated from *.java files.

I have a single here .o and .java to simplify.

Yeah, me too.
why do
people want to invoke the linker directly instead of having gcj do the
job, when the latter obviously works and the former doesn't?
Habit?  Lots of legacy makefiles still use "ld -shared" (or variants like
"ld -G"), I suspect.  There may also be older non-gcc compiler drivers
that don't understand "-shared" or have any equivalent.
Of course that has nothing to do with gcj.
