I do (on Linux). It works great; I use it a lot. Statically-compiled
mode is my top priority for getting gcj-win32 working as well; I'm not
going to try for a libgcj.dll anytime soon.

After the new year I'm going to hack up some tools to help trim down
the size of all-static gcj binaries. The aforementioned simple "dump
list of loaded classes and feed back into linker" will probably be my
first attempt.
