Will we ever want to build against a generic version of the Boehm GC?
If not I guess we could easily hack the GC build to export
_Jv_AllocObj.  We could even do this with a -D option somewhere so we
only touch the configury and not the source.

Otherwise, maybe there's a way to define one symbol as an alias for
another.

My guess is we should do #1 and simply have the GC (and zlib) be built
as convenience libraries and pulled into libgcj.  That should help
performance, right?
