Unfortunatly, this causes gcj to statically link everything (even glibc), which
results in an unneccessarily large binary. What I'd like is to be able to selectivly
static link only libgcj's libraries, while keeping libc, libstdc++, and anything
else that is standard on Linux distributions dynamic in order to keep the file size
down.
