Sounds good.

It works for C, f77 and C++. I did not try to compile java before the
2000-12-11 snapshot, so i can't tell, if it worked before the integration.

No, there isn't even a install. I only have a $prefix/share dir
but there is only locale inside.

Seems that it was not built.
The top level configure.in file says around line 745:
 *-*-linux*)
     echo 'Kacke!'
     noconfigdirs="${libgcj}"

This belongs to 
case "${target}" in ...

Seems, that libgcj isn't built on many targets ;-)

Is there any magic, that avoids this lines?

Thanks for your reply,
Martin.
