[Bug java/24798] New: classmap.db should reside in /var/lib/gcj/

>From gbenson@redhat.com:

While we're changing things here I'd like to propose that the global
database be moved from /usr/lib/gcj-x.y.z/classmap.db to somewhere
like /var/lib/gcj/classmap.db.  Unlike the per-package files the
global database is machine-specific, so putting it in /var makes us
more LSB-compliant.  One practical advantage of this is that it would
allow our rpms to be used on systems with readonly /usr partitions.

I agree with reporter.

Bug #27890 is also related to FHS compliance with regard to readonly /usr
partitions.

Note that aot-compile-rpm uses the output of gcj-dbtool -p to figure out where
to install the libraries (ie /usr/lib or /usr/lib64).  aot-compile-rpm will
start putting them in the wrong place if the default location is changed
without also fixing aot-compile-rpm.
