I was not aware that the JVMPI stuff is being compiled in. I agree: it should
be turned off unless "--enable-libgcj-profile" or whatever is given to
configure.
In any case, this (not having _Jv_AllocObject(), at least for common cases) is
is definatly where we want to go. Actually, I think I've mentioned this before
on one of my GCJ wishlist rants ;-)
