Yes, this is exactly what we need.  Any thread that calls any
gcj-compiled code will register itself one way or another.  We already
have the libgcj entry points for this (see _Jv_AttachCurrentThread),
they just need to tell the GC about the new thread's existence.

There is also a "detach thread" API in JNI, see
_Jv_DetachCurrentThread.
