That's a very cool idea, practical or not. C++ users have the option of
linking to a minimal libsupc++ if they don't need the standard library.
Why not have a similar option for gcj.
There could also be some merit in having a compiler testsuite for gcj
independent of libgcj, with a minimal runtime, similar to other frontends.
I suspect more GCC developers would test Java if they didn't have to build
all of libgcj.
