That's just the thing, libgcj does not compile fine.  The snapshot does not
give errors, but it also does not create a libgcj.spec file.  2.95.1 does give
errors during the make.

In a seperate build dir as per the instructions, i ran config, make, and make
install for both gcc and libgcj
config for gcc was like --prefix=/home/user/gcc --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
--enable-languages="java"
config for libgcj was like --prefix=/home/user/gcc

gcj -v SomeJavaProg.java     yields
Reading specs from /home/user/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/specs
Reading specs from libgcj.spec
gcj: libgcj.spec no such file or directory

locate libgcj.spec   yields nothing
