present, GNU Classpath's gnu.classpath.Configuration.ECJ_JAR field

some distributions ship an ecj.jar. Can that conflict? If yes, please
rename it to something like ecj-invalid.jar.
No, this value isn't used by libgcj because libgcj's gnu.classpath.Configuration
overrides GNU Classpath's. I only mentioned it in case someone got confused
when inspecting libjava/classpath/gnu/classpath/Configuration.java in the build
tree. It's also mentioned in the GCJ LOCAL comments in
libjava/classpath/configure.ac.
Distributions should use --with-ecj-jar=$system_installed_ecj
--enable-java-maintainer-mode when configuring gcc, which will cause
com.sun.tools.javac to be built and included, referencing the system-installed
ecj.jar.
