It's the experimental target intended to (eventually) replace the
current "bootstrap" logic.

Of course, it can't do that until it *works*.  Currently I know that
it breaks libada pretty badly, and I'm working on fixing that on libada-branch
(but my fixes are breaking libada in other ways, so I have to find and fix
those first...)

I haven't seen problems with GCJ which don't occur with ordinary bootstrap.
Could you please tell me what "spectacular" failures you're seeing, so I
can fix them? :-)
