This is off-topic, but you'd be surprised at how minimal the system requirements
are for building gcc/gcj on Linux - much less than for Windows. My GCC build
box is still the P450/256M/8G that I bought on EBay almost two years ago for
$129 USD:

If you hunt for bargains, you can get the same or better nowadays for less about
$85 USD including shipping. I recall that the builds went orders of magnitude faster
on Linux than under Cygwin, which is why I was highly motivated to see to it that the
recent build!=host issues were resolved. If you like working under Win32, you
can network the two boxes pretty cheaply and SSH into the Linux box using Putty,
so you don't even need to dedicate a monitor to it.
