Yes, that would certainly be more convenient.  However I did not do
this to avoid running afoul of the FSF's restrictions here.

If Mark and/or the FSF says we can do it, then I'm all for it.

Note that the rmic we would like to use also requires ASM.  rmic is
arguably more important than javah -- javah is only used by developers
but rmic is used at runtime by real applications.  (In fact the reason
it uses ASM was to boost its performance for Jonas...)
