Configuring gcc in the srcdir is truly scary, and I'm surprised it
works at all, but I don't know that's the cause of your problem.

"First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate
directory than the sources which does not reside within the source
tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir ==
objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building
where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported.

"To configure GCC:

        % mkdir objdir
        % cd objdir
        % srcdir/configure [options] [target]"

I don't like this either.  --with-sysroot is supposed to do the right
thing here.  I would investigate this a bit further.

It sounds to me as though gcj's build system may be broken for cross
compilers in the 4.1 release, but I'd like you to try a more
conventional configure and make first.
