There is a lot of native code here that makes me question the
usefulness of making CNI peers that are only useful to gcj when the
JNI peers are still in need of so much work.  Without code sharing or
just working on the JNI peers I fear that while gcj may gain something
here the rest of the free software vm world loses.  As noted, gcj has
no trouble using the JNI peers.
