Programs like 'gcj-dbtool' and 'gij' are linked against a specific
libgcj.so.  If there is only one set of binaries, then it seems like
we don't need to bother with multilib at all, since it will only ever
be possible to use one particular libgcj.so -- the one 'gij' is linked
to.  At least, that is true in the common case... e.g., eclipse, which
in the end invokes 'gij' at startup.

Or am I missing some magic that lets us pick libraries at runtime?
I don't know how this could work, but I'm ready to be enlightened :-)
