RFC: Nuke xref code in GCJ


Hi,

  Quite a bit of code in the current GCJ front-end is
controlled with "flag_emit_xref". However, the GCJ
driver program does not accept "-fxref" saying that
it is only valid for C++/ObjC++. If you try to use
"-fxref" with C++, the compiler says that the switch
'-fxref' is no longer supported. :-/

So we have these dead code blocks all over the place
that impede understanding and unnecessarily bloat the
source.

I propose to remove all of the code for "flag_emit_xref",
including xref.{c,h}.

Comments?

Thanks,
Ranjit.
