Hello Jakub,

I can confirm that I didn't have that binutils patch.  Updating
binutils 2.12.X past your patch, I can confirm that it does indeed fix
the root problem I saw.  If you saw my followup analysis, I did
observe that the shared library was being incrementally built.  I have
verified that all encoded references in such a library are now
consistent.

Since we believe the configure test is too complex (having seen the
interesting test that RTH created for .hidden on sparc-*-*, I am
fairly scared ;-), I will merely update release notes for this
platform.  I have no idea how widespread this problem is/was; for some
reason libtool insists upon incrementally building libjava.so (to work
around perceived command line length limitations even though the
entire unbroken command line seems to run fine on this platform).

Thanks,
Loren
