Redhat 7.0 comes with gcc and libgcj RPMs which are based on fairly recent cvs
snapshots. These ones are nice because they are split into compiler (gcc-java),
libgcj, and libgcj-devel RPMs. Maybe they are even relocatable too.
Unfortunately they don't work on earlier distributions because of changes in the
RPM format, however it shouldn't be too hard to grab their spec files and roll our
set that works on 6.2, based on a recent known-to-work cvs snapshot. If there is
enough interest, and sourceware wants to host them, I might give this a go
sometime.
