Well, these are very old versions. You should update to at least 4.3. 
You could:
- Compile GCJ yourself: http://rmathew.com/articles/gcj/bldgcj.html
- Use it from here*: http://jnc.mtsystems.ch
- Use it from here: http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm

* These builds bring some additional features:
- A GUI
- Support for AWT/Swing (taken from a Sun JRE 1.4)
- Native builds for Linux and Windows
- Crosscompilers in both direction (Linux <-> Windows)
- Partial classpath exclusion (for smaller binaries)
- ...
The drawback is that the versions compiling for Windows cost 39.90 
(otherwise you'll have a demo dialog). Linux is free of charge.


Hope that helps
