Re: Enable java libraries for arm-elf compiler

Ok.  I think these ports do need -fcheck-references.  I'll fix that
once your patch goes in.

FYI, the `closure API' is a second API that was introduced into libffi
to let the interpreter work.  libffi already has basic support for the
ARM; this support is sufficient for reflection to work.
