[Bug java/16899] Gcj does not produce working executables for big endian ARMs

By chance, I found out that by commenting out a few lines from
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(), I'm able to produce working binaries for armv5b.

I didn't include a patch because this does not seem look like a real solution:

  public static ClassLoader getSystemClassLoader()
  {
    // Check if we may return the system classloader
//    SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
//    if (sm != null)
      {
	Class c = VMSecurityManager.getClassContext()[1];
	ClassLoader cl = c.getClassLoader();
//	if (cl != null && cl != systemClassLoader)
//	  sm.checkPermission(new RuntimePermission("getClassLoader"));
      }

    return systemClassLoader;
  }

Does anyone who has more knowlegde about gcj internals have any idea what is the
real reason behind this? I also confirmed that the bug still exists in gcj 3.4.1.
