what version of gcc do I need?
The question is meaningless: gcj is part of gcc.
I currently have 3.4.3 and have heard bad things about 4.0.
People always say bad things about the latest version of anything.
And they're extra suspicious (with reason) about a x.0 release.
does 3.4.3 provide the necessary java stuff?
Who knows - what is the "necessary java stuff" - for you?
if not, can the java stuff be updated without going to 4.0?
Not really. You can use gcj version 3.4.3, which is usable.
But if you want gcj version 4.0 you need gcc 4.0.
Of course you don't need to install gcc 4.0 as your default
(system) C/C++ compiler. And I wouldn't recommend that.
(As David Daney just posted: configure with --prefix.)
