I've seen bugs from it before, but I didn't know they worked
separately.  Cool...

There's no generic way, but if you have already compiled a solib
yourself then it won't recreate it.  This allows you to compile it
with -O0 instead of -O2, for example, which has worked for every gcj
bug I've seen so far.
