Nobody is working on merging them.

There are two basic problems:

1. Classpath and libgcj have different goals (as I see it).  Classpath
wants an implementation-independent class library.  libgcj doesn't
care about implementation dependency -- we want native methods written
using CNI for speed.

2. The whole copyright/licensing issue, which has been discussed many
times.
