Without this patch, the build of libjava fails on arm*-*-linux-*eabi:

/usr/bin/ld: .libs/jv-convert: hidden symbol `__sync_synchronize' in 
/root/gcc/newgccsnapshot/gcc-snapshot-20090919/build/./gcc/libgcc.a(linux-atomic.o) 
is referenced by DSO
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[5]: *** [jv-convert] Error 1

Full buildlog at http://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/snapshot.log.bz2

The reason for this is not linking the shared libgcj with -lgcc.

Am I allowed to check in this patch to fix the build failure, or do I have to 
wait for an approval of an ARM maintainer?
