This sounds good!
My only thoughts are that the build process needs to work for cross compilers.
If c++ (or perhaps a recent g++ would be necessary) were available as the
build system compiler, then gcjx (or whatever its name ends up being)
should be build in stage1 with that compiler.
In native builds, you could defer building gcjx until stage 2 and beyond.
