FWIW, I'm interested in trying to make gcj 4.x more "embedded system
friendly".  From my point of view this is a regression.

The biggest problem is that the range of capabilities of embedded
systems varies such a lot.

The capability I'm most interested in is creating a shared library that is statically linked with libgcj.a. So far, I've only been able to do this with gcj 3.4.2 and gcj 3.4.4 on Windows. The resulting DLL is only about 4 Mb in size and works great.

Also, FWIW, I've been unable to build gcc/gcj on Mac OS X since the 20050501 4.1 snapshot, the errors vary. Most recently, I tried the 20051029 and 20051105 snapshots and both failed to build. Apple just released a new toolchain based on gcc 4.0.1. Once the 4.1 20051119 snapshot is released I'll give it another try and report more details.

Andi..
