What Xcode version do you have installed ?

I adjusted the above stuff according to the comment in 
/usr/include/mach/i386/thread_status.h:

/*
 * the i386_xxxx form is kept for legacy purposes since these types
 * are externally known... eventually they should be deprecated.
 * our internal implementation has moved to the following naming convention
 *
 *   x86_xxxx32 names are used to deal with 32 bit states
 *   x86_xxxx64 names are used to deal with 64 bit states
 *   x86_xxxx   names are used to deal with either 32 or 64 bit states
 *      via a self-describing mechanism
 */

The gcj I build with this bdwgc seems usable. The testsuite looks good.
