Whats strange is that this does not appear to work for me. The trouble
is actually before libtool is invoked, this line in the Makefile:
	$(libgcj_la_LINK) -rpath $(toolexeclibdir) $(libgcj_la_LDFLAGS)
$(libgcj_la_OBJECTS) $(libgcj_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
$(libgcj_la_OBJECTS) expands to a huge list of objects, and so make
fails while trying to execute sh to run this line, before libtool is
even called.
I'm using Cygwin make. Perhaps another one would work better? I tried
both MinGW make and MSYS make, but both of those didn't work at all for
other reasons I have not investigated.
