I meant not having to build libgcj while building the cross compiler - for
the crossed native compiler, I realise that I need to rebuild libgcj.

(The cross-compiler's libgcj doesn't get used while building the
crossed-native compiler and therefore is a wasted effort that can save
build times. Thanks to Mohan for pointing this out.)

To put it in a slightly different way, does modifying 
"libgcj/configure.host"
like this affect the libgcj that is being built or *merely* cause these to 
be
added to libgcj.spec for "future" programs compiled with this GCJ?

If I need to affect the crossed-native compiler's libgcj, is there any way I
can do this *without* having to build the cross compiler's libgcj as well?

Ranjit.
