When compiling a .jar, gcj will compile all the resources in the .jar into the resulting .o. when using the .db feature, resources in the .so will never be used; instead they'll always be pulled from the original .jar. gcj could use an option to omit resources from the compilation, to avoid unnecessarily bloating the .o.
