That's not at all comparable.

From your link:

"Most of the routines in libgcc handle arithmetic operations that the target processor cannot perform directly."

You're trying to imply the Java native runtime is comparable to liggcc?? That's silly.

A runtime is a runtime, regardless of the size and features checkbook.

I think the point was that it's a matter of degree and not of substance
