Cygwin doesn't build right now.  There are some patches pending that
should make it work, but I haven't looked at them yet.  I'm not even
certain they should go on the 3.0 branch (opinions?  I still don't
have a very clear idea of what we want to classify as important enough
for the branch).

I have never tried a beos build of libgcj.  I doubt it would work.  I
think disabling it would be appropriate.
