Hmm, I hadn't heard that.  In any case, I have my build directory as a
subdir of sourceware/libgcj and my builds are fine (on a i686-pc-linux-gnu
host).  Could be true though of another project I guess..

Just to be clear for all readers, for our purposes the build cannot be
done in the same dir as the configure script.
