Until someone adds it, it is not an option. No, it's the difference between -fpic and -fPIC. Also not yet implemented. I intend to implement multigot in a couple of months if no one else bothers to first. You can not link modules with different GOT models together last I checked, HJ. That means that if any static code from libgcc is used in libjava you'll lose badly with -Wa,-xgot.
