I have to agree with grobian.

so here is the result of an example command

$ JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH="test" gjl -a -p jython
gjl_args=" -classpath
/usr/share/jython/lib/jython.jar:/usr/share/libreadline-java/lib/libreadline-java.jar:/usr/share/junit/lib/junit.jar:/usr/share/javacc/lib/javacc.jar
-Djava.library.path="/lib:/usr/lib:test:/usr/lib64/libreadline-java"


and the patch

$ svn diff gjl

As you can see,  I have prefixed '/lib:/usr/lib' to java.library.path

I will commit this to trunk latter tonight.  Is there any other
