	* finalize.c:
	- Accomodate finalization requests for static objects.
	  (Will be required by hash synchronization.  May be needed
	  in some configurations now.)

	* gc_priv.h:
	- Define MIN_WORDS.  All allocation requests are rounded
	  up to at least this size.  Removes a subtle assumption that
	  Java objects have a 2 word header.

	* gcconfig.h:
	- Adjust Linux/IA64 configuration for non-ancient kernels.
	  (Necessary fix for IA64.)

	* linux_threads.c:
	- Fix syntax error in currently unused code.  Will be needed
	  for Linux/PA-RISC.

	* malloc.c:
	- Handle MIN_WORDS.

	* misc.c:
	- Handle MIN_WORDS.
	- Change stack cleaning code to typically clear about one tenth
	  the memory it used to in the threads configuration.  Occasionally
	  still clear more.  (This is really a fix for a long-standing
	  and fairly significant performance bug with threads.)

	* os_dep.c:
	- Fix the code for finding the beginning of the data segment under
	  Linux.  I believe this is necessary for some IA64 Linux
	  distributions.  It will also helo other platforms, though those
	  may additionally require a gcconfig.h adjustment.  (This basically
	  works around the absence of a data_start or __data_start
	  definition in glibc.)

	* test.c:
	- Handle rounding due to MIN_WORDS.

	* configure.in: Don't use alpha_mach_dep.s.
	* include/private/config.h, irix_threads.c gc_watcom.asm: Delete
	obsolete files.

From-SVN: r33251

	* Makefile.in: Rebuilt.
	* Makefile.am (gctest_LDADD): Added THREADLIB.
	(TESTS): New macro.
	* configure: Rebuilt.
