That is simply not true. I don't feel happy about the whole gcj thing.
Already libstdc++ provided alongside with the compiler is pain enough.
But the runtime support for Java is a disaster in the making since it's
getting to be a truly huge behemoth which is constantly changing and 
"eating"
new APIs. Worst thing about it is it's grief for external libraries 
like GTK+ for
example.
