Here is a proposed patch to that effect.

* doc/install.texi (Prerequisites): Mention ecj.jar and how to
download it.

Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime.

+ Necessary to build the Java front-end of @command{gcj}. @file{ecj.jar}
+ should contain the Eclipse Java compiler, modified with a GCC-specific
+ entry point. You can download a suitable jar by running the script
+ @command{contrib/download_ecj}.
+ @c We don't mention the URL @uref{ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/} here
+ @c because after the user downloads ecj.jar to an arbitrary location in
+ @c his filesystem he 1. needs to copy it to the installation directory
+ @c and 2. to specify the --with-ecj-jar option. contrib/download_ecj is
+ @c much simpler to use.
