Although this behavior is at odds with the FAQ, I think there is a good 
point here... why is FLAGS_FOR_TARGET used for c/c++/chill but not gcj in
the toplevel configure.in?  Is this an oversight, or is
-B$(build_tooldir)/bin not really needed?

For reference, here's the original thread on -B$(build_tooldir)/bin:
