libltdl and _Jv_FindSymbolInExecutable

[Mike Pelley]

Currently, we have a java application that calls c functions in a c 
library (with c++ wrappers).

When I use the native GCC 3.0.1 compiler (for Linux or SunOS) it works 
fine.  However, if I attempt to build the application using a gcc cross 
compiler (say, Linux to SunOS), the link fails because 
_Jv_FindSymbolInExecutable is not resolved.  It turns out that this is 
conditional on libltdl, which is not built for cross compilers (see 
libjava/configure, libjava/configure.in, and 
libjava/java/lang/natRuntime.cc).

Is it possible to reference external c libraries from java programs 
compiled with a cross gcc compiler?  Why doesn't libltdl get built when 
  cross compiling?

Thanks!   Mike.
