As far as I know nobody has tried this.

What exactly happens when linking the library?
Also, how do you configure gcc?

I don't know of any in libjava.  The problem is that the compiler
itself gets confused by the case insensitivity.  The Gnu.java build
problem you saw is the symptom.

There's a bunch of discussion of the bug in the mailing list archives.
Now that libgcj has mostly been ported to Windows, I'd think it
wouldn't be too hard for someone (you :-) to fix this gcj bug.
