This looks like a problem with libc_nonshared.a, not anything in libgcj.

I use 2.15 and have not seen this problem although it has been about two weeks since I did a build. I would rather see people upgrade their binutils (as versions prior to 2.15 also cause bad code generation) than hork things up with unnecessary -mxgots The only reason that libgcj needs -mxgot is that libtool is broken and does incremental linking.
