gcj-jit failure

Today I tried the experiment of starting eclipse using gcj-jit and
no precompilation.  After valiantly compiling 319 classes, I get a
crash in the GC:

#3  0x00d7b5bc in GC_abort (msg=0xf11f17 "Too many root sets\n")
    at ../../../gcc/boehm-gc/misc.c:1048
#4  0x00d79bd3 in GC_add_roots_inner (b=0x1220150 "ÿÿÿÿ", 
    e=0x1220d50 ".EventStats.buildException(java.lang.Exception)", tmp=1)
    at ../../../gcc/boehm-gc/mark_rts.c:242

I'm not going to look into this any further at the moment.  There are
more important bugs to fix; still, this is interesting.
