It will reconfigure the entire tree. A `make' won't rebuild
everything, just some things. This is the only supported approach.

You probably need to pass special options to the libjava configure
script. You might also need to set some environment variables. I
never do this, so I don't remember exactly. Anyway, you can look at
the libjava config.status in your build tree to see the options.

I assume so, but I don't actually know. I don't use static linking
either.
