Mohan has done some excellent work in this regard:
http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc33_mingw.htm
Without it, I wouldn't be testing GCJ 3.3 against my app.
I currently deploy my app compiled with GCJ 3.2(MinGW), since
it has more testing milage and there is an outstanding
garbage collection issue that is being worked out w/GCJ 3.3.

I don't think GCJ 3.3 is for you unless you are able to set aside
some time for opensource community work. Its a marvellous piece of
software, but its not done yet. Although I haven't compiled GCJ yet,
I have found half a dozen issues that I've worked through + posted
my findings. The community has been quite responsive, so it is
a rewarding experience.
I tried http://www.excelsior-usa.com JET product, and at the time
it seemed to work straight out of the box, e.g. they have JRE 1.4
support. Perhaps that is a better alternative for you?
