[patch] add FreeBSD/PowerPC bits to boehm-gc

[Hans Boehm]

I'm currently travelling.  I will add it to my tree when I return and it's
a little more convenient.  The patch looks fine to me.

GC 6.5 should be fine to merge.  I added one minor patch since then
that's relevant to gcj, but it's certainly not critical.  And we could
merge it later.

Solaris/X86 still appears to be a problem for 6.5.  But the solution there
seems to be to switch to the standard pthread support, which makes it a
major change.
