(Mis)adventures with gcc-2.95/libgcj-2.95 on mips-sgi-irix6.5

[Billinghurst, David (RTD)]

I am attempting to compile libgcj-2.95 with gcc-2.95 on mips-sgi-irix6.5.

First problem (problem report 18)is that libtool doesn't seem to handle the
SGI -64 ABI (-mabi=64)
A "configure --disable-multilib" works around this

Then (problem report 24) I couldn't build libgcj, due to a bug in gcj
This problem is fixed by a patch to jvgenmain:
  http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc-patches/1999-08/msg00117.html


After this everything compiled, but "make check" wouldn't run.
Updating to the dejagnu-19990614 snapshot solved that problem.

Now a "make check" complains about "javac not found"
I can't find it either.  Any ideas.
