Yeah sure, so long as you document it in the same way. We already
changed the interface on them so while they check that they can also add
that extra parameter.

Hopefully we can persuade one of the VM implementors to donate their
Runtime native code to Classpath or just rewrite the gcj CNI version to
JNI so we can maintain that part of the code (at least for GNU or POSIX
based systems).
