Thanks! This is great!
I think we should check this in on the trunk as soon as the gcc 3.0
branch is made. Hans, I've forgotten -- have you filed paperwork with
the FSF?

This is fairly easy to fix. We can simply put -fhash-synchronization
into libgcj.spec.

I think what I'd like to do here is install a system-specific include
file called `gcjconfig.h'. We'd have configure create this. We'll
install it in some system-specific directory that is automatically
searched by g++. Then we can simply have Object.h include this file.
