With rebuild-gcj-db as an alternative I'm not sure this is even
possible now (especially if gcj is not the currently-selected
alternative). I think we can get away with "breaking backwards
compatibility" here in the interest of not maintaining a
"rebuild-gcj-db" script indefinitely.
It doesn't have to be indefinite, but it will have to be there for
FC5 and probably FC6 at least: without it upgrades from FC4 will fail
and releng will kick our ass.
