I'm a bit out of my depth here.

Hans wrote: "Gc7 (even the released, but very experimental alpha3 version)
has a thread registration interface." This implies that the version in gcc
_doesn't_ have a thread registration interface, or anything that could
be hacked together into one. Is that surmise correct?

If so, the only other thing I can think of is to spawn a new registered thread instead
of calling AttachCurrentThread, and somehow translate all C->Java invocations
on the unregistered thread into inter-thread calls onto the new registered thread.
In other words, keep all Java code on a separate thread. Yuck.
