 Well, for one thing, you should be able to use the system boehm gc
 instead; I believe that LinuxPPC 2000 doesn't have this available, but
 you can get a patched source from Debian or use the new upstream
 release of the Boehm GC.  You can probably just drop it in on top of
 the one you're using from libgcj.
