I haven't tried to build gcj as a cross-compiler in a long time.
However, back when I last tried, you did it the same way you build any
cross-compiler.

The command-line printed by `make' should tell you how to find gcj.
In my build it is <build>/gcc/gcj.

If you're trying to build just Checkbox.java in isolation, without
building the rest of the library, you can probably do that.  However
you'll need to configure libjava first.  Then you can do something
like this to see what make will do:

    cd <build>/<target>/libjava
    make java/awt/Checkbox.lo
