The most recent error message I get from the libjava build is...

symbolIndex(atom #142693)
from .libs/libgcj.la-1.o
ld64 failed: atom not found

which make it sound rather nasty.  I don't know if this is an ld64 bug, 
a codegen issue, or can be worked around with libtool fun.

If I can get it working on mainline, and those changes are safe for 
4.0.0, I'll seek to move them there...

I propose that we do this for mainline, and backport it to 4.0, as it 
is a regression on mainline as well as 4.0.

I endorse the proposed change.
