sqlitejdbc does this in order to provide a cross-platform (pure Java) sqlite 
jdbc driver. If one plans to compile the resulting jarfile with gcj there is no 
need to do this trick in the first place.

sqlitejdbc provides a build option not to include the MIPS emulator and use JNI 
to access the native compiled sqlite library.

However, I never tried to use the resulting jarfile + native library with gcj.

ok, but IMHO there is no need to compile this jar file with gcj ;-)
