Actually, this bugs me too. I configure egcs and libgcj with the prefix
/usr/local/egcs, and I would expect libgcj to put its shared libraries in
/usr/local/egcs/lib (the same place where the egcs install puts libstdc++),
however libgcj puts them in /usr/local/egcs/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib, not something
that is normally on ones LD path ;-)

Presumably static libraries should have the target specified in the path (for
compiling for multiple targets), but the shared libs probably shouldn't.

Can this be changed?
