"make bootstap" should work fine for java now. I havn't actually tried
it though.

We put that there because of GCJ's "--disable-new-gxx-abi"
requirement. When the Java stuff is updated to support the new ABI, it
will be removed from platforms that we know it builds on - currently
"*-*-linux*" ;-)

You should just remove that line if you want to build the libgcj
stuff, and you have configured with "--disable-new-gxx-abi".
