I was not aware that PIC was required for dynamic libs on x86. Is this a 
requirement of gcj?

I ran libtoolize -f, copied in the libtool.m4 from libtool 1.5, deleted 
libtool in the kawa root dir and I reran configure.

It now compiles OK. The distributed files just don't work for me from the kawa 
1.7 tarball, I'm not sure why. Maybe the files from libtool 1.5 could be 
used?
