So, gcj still uses boehm-gc 6.3-hacked-to-bits. Is there any chance of
bringing it up to date (at least version 6.7)? Doing so *should* make gcj
threads [mostly, if not fully] work on NetBSD. gcj-4.1 on NetBSD is near
useless, and 4.2 simply segfaults at startup.
I've attempted to look at three-way diffs of gc-6.7 <-> gc-6.3 <-> gcj-4.2,
but my head hurts. Perhaps a vendor import is really the way to go here,
rather than trying to forklift yet more hacks into place...?
A good question. Perhaps the libgcj maintainers would care to comment.
