libjava is in a weird situation again. The released versions of
automake generate a Makefile.in that is much too large to be seriously
considered. We've got a fix for this, but I think it won't show up
until 1.9 :-(
Alexandre suggested that we could use an "officially unreleased"
version, or something like that, but I tend to doubt that this would
be acceptable for GCC. Part of the point of the upgrade is to get
the whole tree on a single official release again...
