I looked at this.  That message likely means some other dependencies are
missing.  I found I had to add regexps, commons-logging and log4j to my
ant build, and still didn't finish.  Are you using a recent build of gcj?

I got everything but optional.jar compiled, but found I can't link without
it.  I also stubbed some missing methods in javax.swing, which is
referenced from several places in the jakarta packages.
