Automake and GCJ

[Ranjit Mathew <rmathew at hotmail dot com>]

Hi,

    Since one of the primary maintainers of Automake (Tom)
is also one of the primary maintainers for GCJ, I am
putting this question in this forum: Is there really
any need for a separate "GCJ Automake" as found in:

http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/java/automake-gcj-1.4.tar.gz

now that the main Automake is at version 1.7.5 and
almost all the problems with Automake at least as
described in:

http://www.davidpashley.com/tutorials/gcj-automake.html

seem to have been resolved by 1.6.2?

Is there still something left out that GCJ needs
and that Automake 1.7.5 doesn't have?

As an aside, IMHO there's no need for a separate
build instructions page for GCJ as found in:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/java/build-snapshot.html

when the instructions in the main GCC installation
pages:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

work just fine.

Ranjit.
