Yes, the problem with Java still exists, I reproduced it on a test
system a few weeks ago.  It's hard to grasp, and I have failed to
nail it down, since outside of the FreeBSD Ports Collection, just
building from upstream SVN, everything works just fine.

That said, I do not think this is relevant here since GCC does not 
actually set an rpath as you have it in mind by default (or at all).
And least not that I'd know, or I'd use that. ;-)
