Since the generated configure changes several times an hour right now 
;-) it might be easier that I push it for you.

The changes look good, I just have two remarks:
1) in flags.m4:
     COMPILER_BINDCMD_FILE_FLAG=
I think it's more evident that it was explicitely left empty by using:
     COMPILER_BINDCMD_FILE_FLAG=""

I'll change that before pushing, I hope you don't mind.

2) I just wanted to point out that with the new 
COMPILER_BINDCMD_FILE_FLAG functionality, you'll start getting loadmaps 
for all libraries and not only libjvm.so. But I guess that doesn't 
really matter.

You did some good start, and we tried not to break it. :)
