You're doing probably the hardest build there is: a Canadian cross
targeting Windows.  The core gcj developers generally are doing native
builds, and not many gcj developers use Windows; also the ones who do
use Windows tend to be less active.  Finally, we're in a time where
gcj is changing rapidly, which makes the ordinary background problem
worse.

That's the explanation for how it is... but:

Yes, I think so.  One thing we could do is set up an automated tester
on the GCC compile farm (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm) that
does a build like yours.  That way breakage would be noticed more quickly.

Would you be able to set something up?  I may be able to help a bit;
we could take some infrastructure stuff from the Classpath builder.
