I faced the same problem and ended up finding a configure flags combination 
that worked by looking at the old scripts. I believe Ranjit had said that 
4.0.2 didn't have a patch made later to the gcc configure machinery that 
introduced the sysroot thingie. --without-x definitely seemed required.

I eventually got a native Windows gcj 4.0.2 capable of producing Windows 
executables but the PyLucene unit tests failed to run and I reverted to using 
gcj 3.4.6 on Windows which I built using the new scripts - with sysroot 
thingie - for binutils and the old scripts and some link hackery for gcj 
3.4.6.

Thanks again, Ranjit, for these scripts.
This gcc cross-compiling feature is great.
