A little while back I was getting an IllegalMonitorStateException when 
running a gcj-built 'hello world' with POSIX threads and Boehm GC on 
sparc-sun-solaris2.6.  I switched to disabling threads since I thought the 
tree was just in a state of flux; I haven't tried configuring with 
threads since then so unfortunately I can't corroborate any current problem 
you're having.  (BTW, I was using the GNU linker).

As Tom states, if it's not working now, please report it via GNATS.  Thanks!
