I'm handling it.

State-Changed-Why:
I'm closing this for two reasons:
* First, gcc 3.0 will include jar, and not zip.
* Second, this is a decision made by the gcc developers.
It is one I disagree with, but nevertheless it happened:
gcc will always install its version of jar in $(bindir).
If this causes problems for you I think the accepted
solution is to configure with a --prefix pointing at
an otherwise unused directory.
Thanks.
