When gcj/gcc produces sub-optimal code wouldn't it make more sense to
just fix gcj? Can you give some examples of such code?

P.S. There is http://vmkit.llvm.org/ladyvm.html if you need to use
llvm/vmkit. It might not produce the fastest runtime code, but it is a
quick way to mix and match various existing free software projects to
produce something gcj/java-like.
