It's gcj.

It's mostly in maintenance mode.  The compiler itself is pretty solid, but
the Classpath runtime library isn't being developed very much.  We really
need to port gcj to use the OpenJDK runtime libraries, which would make
gcj an excellent product, but so far no-one has had the time to do it.

I think that's an excellent idea.

How does one start helping out with that?

Get a copyright assignment in place for GCC and classpath so your patches can be accepted.

Then start hacking away. The GCC and GCJ websites have a lot of information on various aspects of this process. After looking there, you can ask questions on java@gcc.gnu.org.
