+ Hashtable synchronization for PowerPC.
+ * configure.in: Define SLOW_PTHREAD_SELF if configure.host set
+ slow_pthread_self. Set up symlink for sysdeps directory.
+ * configure: Rebuild.
+ * configure.host: Document more shell variables. Set sysdeps_dir
+ for most platforms. Set slow_pthread_self for i686. Set
+ enable_hash_synchronization_default and slow_pthread_self for PowerPC.
+ * posix-threads.cc (_Jv_ThreadSelf_out_of_line): Use release_set so
+ that memory barrier is emitted where required.
+ * prims.cc: 64-bit align static primitive class instances.
+ * include/posix-threads.h (_Jv_ThreadSelf for SLOW_PTHREAD_SELF): Add
+ read_barrier() to enforce ordering of reads.
+ * sysdep/powerpc/locks.h: New file. Implementation of synchronization
+ primitives for PowerPC.
+ * sysdep/i386/locks.h: New file. Synchronization primitives for i386
+ moved from natObject.cc.
+ * sysdep/alpha/locks.h: Likewise.
+ * sysdep/ia64/locks.h: Likewise.
+ * sysdep/generic/locks.h: Likewise.
+ * java/lang/natObject.cc: Move thread synchronization primitives to
+ system-dependent headers.
