For what little (to nothing) it's worth, I still use gcj, and I like
the ease of adding small bits of java to a project without involving
additional compilers. It optimizes extremely well, is easy to use,
and adds to the completeness of the GNU Compiler *Collection*.
Could we at least reach out and see if there's someone else who could
be the maintainer? I noticed gcj patches recently, so there's still
interest.
