Plugging this into gcc has largely been fine, thanks to an earlier
round of patches in this area.

The biggest unsolved build issue is that it would be nice, when
bootstrapping native (build=host=target), to use the just-built g++
and libstdc++ for gcjx.  This involves some wacky build reordering
that I've been avoiding looking at.
