Use the GCJ mailing list: java@gcc.gnu.org

The runtime library maps threads to the
host OS's threading facilities. For example,
on Win32 it uses Win32 threads while on
Linux it uses POSIX threads.

Trivial/small contributions are accepted
if they look OK without much of a hassle. For
significant/large changes, you need to assign
copyrights for your contributions to FSF
via signed assignment papers (dead-tree format
sent via snail-mail).

rephrase this?
