if you need bootstrapping OpenJDK 6 or OpenJDK 7, then having gcj available for
the target platform is required. Starting with OpenJDK 8 you should be able to
cross build OpenJDK 8 with an OpenJDK 8 available on the cross platform.  It
might be possible to cross build older OpenJDK versions, but this usually is
painful.
