Line numbers in stack traces [was: GCJ application runs not too bad with shared libs, but crasheswith] static libs - seems to be in _Jv_MonitorEnter

Hi,
Just wanted to say that I would miss line numbers greatly while
developing.

Not having to depend on external processes would be very nice. Maybe it
is an idea to make a version of libgcj that includes the necessary code
from addr2line and c++filt that can then be used in combination with
GPLed programs. Non-GPLed programs could still use the less featurefull
GPL+exception implementation of libgcj, but GPLed programs would get the
nicer stacktraces.
Cheers,
