gcj in gcc 3.0

[per@bothner.com]

Mark Mitchell recently posted a message containing the following
to the gcc mailing list:

    N.B.: the Java front-end is still not compatible with the new ABI.
    I have been encouraged by some people (including people at Red
    Hat) to ask the SC to drop Java from the GCC 3.0 release.  It is
    frustruating to me that I brought this issue up with the Java team
    at least six months ago, and that there has been (to my knowledge)
    little progress.  My current thinking is to set a schedule for
    3.0, branch, and let the Java people decide whether or not they
    want to update gcj on the branch or not.

This is disturbing.  Will this be resolved in time for gcc 3.0?
