Sorry that it took me so long to reply, I tried just adding this back and it 
did not work, however the attached patch built perfectly fine (on my Mac OS 
X 10.3 system which already worked anyway). I retested having edited the 
generated libtool's idea of max_cmd_len to 16 Kb and removing my libgcj.la 
files and it built using ld -r and ar cq with a couple of warnings:

using piecewise archive linking...
libtool: link: warning: object name conflicts; overriding AR_FLAGS to 'cq'
libtool: link: warning: to ensure that POSIX-compatible ar will work

and

ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _sqrt
./.libs/libgcj.dylib(libgcj.la-6.o) definition of _sqrt
/usr/lib/libpthread.dylib(sqrt970.o) definition of _sqrt

(the _sqrt warnings were there before too).

Hope this helps someone somewhere :)
