Ok, sorry David, that conclusion came too fast :-)

Hum, now I did:

boehm-gc/$ make clean && make && make install
libjava/$ make all && make install-exec


But still:

$ blah-blah-nm-blah-grep
        U gcj_describe_type_fn


But the files are definitely new:

--- 8< --- 508840 Mar 16 09:06 libgcjgc_convenience.a


and libjava/boehm.o does indeed contain the function (or what):

libjava/ $ powerpc-405-linux-gnu-nm boehm.o | grep gcj_de
00000960 T _Z20gcj_describe_type_fnPvPc


I'm trying to avoid making clean in libjava, but I'm this |<--->| close...
