>>>>> I have a suggestion - if someone has the time, the inclination and
the resources, he can take this task (building GCJ natively on MinGW)
up. Let's see how far we get with this - Anthony did it once to
build a libgcj.dll and according to him there were only
"easily overcome" hurdles. If we face any issues, let's see how
we can resolve it. (Just be sure to use the latest MSYS-1.0.9
snapshot as it fixes an important bug that used to randomly crash
spawned shell processes and prefer Win2K/SP2 or WinXP.)

Let me think about it.
I would be venturing into waters that don't look attractive and harbour
large, sticky oil spills, contaminated fish, and bite-happy sharks. The
result would be interesting though, but the process wouldn't.
