thanks for the report.  I don't think this is a bug in Libtool though
(see below for an explanation), besides the fact that the 2.2.10
testsuite wasn't as strict in avoiding broken gcj installations:

This is a pretty clear hint that your gcj installation is not working as
expected.  It seems you inadvertently installed /usr/bin/gcj into
/bin/gcj.  Fixing this is outside the scope of Libtool, and I can't tell
you what could have caused it.

That patch you reference was for a fairly specific version
incompatibility, and shouldn't be relevant with current autotools
versions any more.  Whatever trouble you have, probably has a different
reason.  Without lots more details there's nothing we can do to help you
though.
