Type not found

[Jeff Sturm]

That class (java.io.Externalizable) is part of object serialization, which
AFAIK is unimplemented in libgcj.

For that matter I don't have Externalizable.java anywhere in my
libgcj source tree.  But if the ObjectInput and ObjectOutput interfaces
also exist in libjava/java/io, it should find them.
