However, work proceeds on gcj itself.

We still haven't released the runtime, so gcj isn't directly usable as a native code compiler. You can use gcj to generate bytecodes using the `-C' option. Of course, you still need a runtime, so this probably isn't all that interesting. You could use gcj to compile and then use Sun's runtime, I suppose. I don't remember ever trying this myself. Tom
