There is some documentation on porting libgcj, but it is mostly
concerned with the parts you say you don't want to port :-(.
Unfortunately porters are assumed to be autoconf experts as well. The
good news is that we're happy to provide advice.

There are a few variables in libgcj that rely on global constructors.
These must be run before main(). I thought gcj generated some code
like this, too, in some situations?

Probably not, but I'm not 100% sure.

Again, probably not, but of course user code can do basically
anything.
