I think you're probably thinking of the machinery that exists to split
the long command lines into pieces.
For 3.5 we're planning to split libgcj.so into several separate
libraries. For this to work well requires the new binary
compatibility ABI (aka -findirect-dispatch) to be more complete (some
runtime patches are missing) and tested. So, help is on the way, but
not immediately.
To be precise, this plan isn't definite, but we've discussed it a few
times. The exact breakdown of what classes go where is still unknown.
