Yeah, that makes sense. Note that the new libgcj won't conflict with the 
Redhat one in /usr/lib, since they have different "soname" (major 
version number), but the one in /usr/local/lib will since it has the 
same name so the dynamic linker can't tell the difference. "ldd a.out" 
will always tell you exactly what library the dynamic linker is going to 
use for a given binary.
