egcs might have changed how it decides when to emit a vtable into the
.o file. I think that could cause the problem you are seeing.

I doubt the problem is with glibc, since the problem seems to be
conflicting definitions of the Object and Class vtables.

A `.lo' file is like a `.o' file but it is created by libtool and (I
believe) holds the PIC code that is put into a shared library.
With libtool you can build static, shared, or both static and shared
libraries in the same build tree. For libjava the default is to build
both. If you know you only want one or the other, you can halve your
build time using the appropriate option to configure.
