Hm... I am kind of confused because I thought that libgcj includes much of
the runtime stuff. Does the problem lie in the fact that libgcj is not yet
complete (i.e. does not have all the libraries and does not have a bytecode
interpreter)? Or is libgcj target-specific?

Thanks again for you quick and helpful responses.
