At one time there was a different GC written for gcj.  I'm not sure
whether it was ever released to the public.  It was written by a
customer of Cygnus a long time ago.

I don't remember how it differed from the existing GC.  I know it was
also conservative, though.

Also a long time ago someone added write barriers to GCC.  This work
was never merged in.  I don't recall if there was a new libgcj GC to
go along with that.
