Thanks, this seems to have gotten me by that problem. I attached a patch for
the change I made to Makefile.in.

I wasn't aware I was until I looked. It automatically configured for it.

javaop.h and gjavah.c. WORDS_TO_DOUBLE assembled doubles incorrectly, and the
NaN mask in gjavah.c was incorrect when FLOAT_WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN is true. I will
send the patch to gcc-patches with a proper changelog entry.

Don't bother, I was just curious. I'm not ready to submit changes for libgcj
yet. I need to get it to build and test it first. I'll cross that bridge when
I come to it.
