The build is currently set up to automatically use ecj.jar if it is in
the top-level srcdir.  So step one is:

    cd $topsrcdir
    ./contrib/download_ecj

The libjava configure will pick up the ecj .jar and use it.
We probably ought to make the gjavah bits as simple to use as this.
Meanwhile you must...


Download:

    http://people.redhat.com/~tromey/gcjh/tools.zip

Make a script called gjavah that uses the jar.  Here's mine:

    #! /bin/sh
    dir=/home/tromey/gnu/Generics/Gcjh
    gij -cp $dir/tools.zip \
       gnu.classpath.tools.javah.Main \
       ${1+"$@"}

Put this in $PATH, then build as usual.
