Since that article and the associated scripts were written
a while ago, they're not up-to-date w.r.t. GCC 4.1 and the
current mainline. :-( I'm trying to rectify matters right
now, but I'm still struggling with the magic incantation
needed to get it all working.

Not from me, sorry.

Add "--with-gcj=$TARGET-gcj" to the configure command at the
end of the "cfgwingcc.sh" script, clean up your build folder
and try again. As I said before, I will update my scripts/article
once I can get stuff working properly again.

My apologies for letting that page and the scripts rot for
so long, but please be a little patient as I try to get things
working again.

HTH,
Ranjit.
