Dear Adam and everyone on Java team,
Thank you very much for the prompt responses to my set of questions. I
appreciate it very much. I am sure I will be coming back to you in near
future with additional questions. Please continue the effort to make gcj as
well known as gnu c and c++ compilers and also a better product compared
with Sun Java compiler.
Thank you,
Bose

I do (on Linux). It works great; I use it a lot. Statically-compiled
mode is my top priority for getting gcj-win32 working as well; I'm not
going to try for a libgcj.dll anytime soon.
After the new year I'm going to hack up some tools to help trim down
the size of all-static gcj binaries. The aforementioned simple "dump
list of loaded classes and feed back into linker" will probably be my
first attempt.
