[Bug libgcj/13212] JNI/CNI AttachCurrentThread does not register thread with garbage collector

[aph at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #20 from aph at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-01-09 17:25 -------
This breaks java on s390.

# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/lib/s390/pr13212.so  /bin/echo 
/bin/echo: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgcj.so.7: undefined symbol:
__data_start

This is because pr13212.so requires libgcj.so.7, and libgcj.so.7 requires
__data_start to be provided by the executable.  /bin/echo does not define
__data_start.

This fixes things on s390:

extern int __data_start __attribute__((weak));
int __data_start;

but it doesn't seem like a good idea in general.  This LD_PRELOAD hack seems to
make every child of /usr/bin/java load libgcj.so.7 and so potentially breaks
all  manner of things.
