All tests do pass? Please send the diffs to me!

Please do a patch run for each package on it's own. Means one for gcc, 
one for boehm-gc, one for libffi and one for libjava/gcj. It makes 
review easier. Also, do not include *.in or configure files in the diff. 
Only Makefile.am or configure.ac the rest we can generate on our own. 
Comment files are also not needed.
Regarding boehm-gc, please follow the same rule.
My preference would be that you would do the work on svn head, aka 4.2. 
If we see that it makes sense, we will backport to 4.1.

Looks ok, but the mountain is very high :)

The unwind stuff will cause you some severe work.
