GCJ application runs not too bad with shared libs, but crasheswith static libs - seems to be in _Jv_MonitorEnter

I don't think we can do that in cvs though.

I believe this lets us get names for symbols in a stack trace.

We could compile libgcj.a differently.  I think libtool defines a
symbol to allow this.  That will make stack traces not work correctly
when statically linked.
