This morning I've checked in a build-system hack which should solve
this problem.

With the new code, the gcj version of abl will look for boot.lisp and
friends in the directory they were in at the time of the build.

This required changes to a lot of files (configure.ac, various
instances of build.xml and Makefile.in) and the addition of
Site.java.in, which is used to generate Site.java at configure time (or
at build time if you're using Ant). It all seems to work, but please
let me know if I've broken something that I didn't think to test.

So far I haven't seen any compilation errors like that. What function
was it trying to compile?
