It might make sense though to turn --enable-libgcj-multifile on whenever
--enable-intermodule is present (presumably, anyone building with
--enable-intermodule has plenty of memory). That can be changed later.
I think the default should be whatever makes bootstrap builds
fastest on most machines, especially if it also produces
better code. The speed of the compile-debug-edit cycle is not
as important, especially if there is an option to improve it.
My preference for the default: Build largish groups of classes
(perhaps by package) at once, but probably not everything.
