What version of gcj are you using?

Basically you need to make sure the resources are also compiled into
the executable (or library).  See the documentation for the
--resource option.

With the cvs trunk gcj (which will eventually, probably, be 3.4), if
you compile a .jar file all at once, the non-.class files in the jar
are automatically compiled as resources.  (Which, as I found out this
week, can really suck if a bunch of random .o files end up in the jar
by mistake.)

In the meantime it is pretty easy to write a script to unpack a .jar
and individually compile each file as appropriate.
