for the latest stable
from libgcj-build
../libgcj-2.95.1/configure --prefix=/home/user/gcc
 <okay>
make
  <fatal error from assembler : can't create .libs/allchblk.lo>
make install
   <error: "java:::lang:::System" has no friends, no public constructors>


for the snapshot, also from libgcj-build
../libgcj-snapshot-2000-08-16/configure --prefix=/home/user/gcc
  <okay>
make
  <okay>
make install-target-libjava
/bin/sh ../libgcj-snapshot-2000-08-16/mkinstalldirs /home/user/gcc
/home/user/gcc
    (only that one line)

make install
  <no libgcj.zip>
  (ending is like this)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /home/user/gcc/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
