Seems to me that i686-pc-linux-gnu is in good shape.  But what about the other
primary platforms?  Currently alpha-linux has compiler/runtime problems, HPPA
and MIPS do not build to the best of my knowledge.  Have the sparc-sun-solaris
build problems been resolved?

In my opinion 3.0 doesn't support gcj unless it is usable on a majority of the
evaluation platforms, at least.
