Yes, I think that has to wait.  For now, I'd prefer backing out the
shlibpath_overrides_runpath detection using objdump at all.  But maybe
I can get gcj to have a decent source file to eat; after all, ATM this
is a bug only for packages using the GCJ tag.  That would be much safer.

We can look at your patch post 2.2.  There are lots of nitty gritty
ordering issues to check.  :-/
