So I have to write a little loader to be compiled as native code which
creates the appropriate classloader for running bytecode from mar jar
libraries, as is done when using sun's java -jar on an executable jar
including correct main-class and class-path.

Couldn't such a utility (a jar launcher) be partly reusable, and thus
be usefull if provided with gcj?

Well, that's the other way I'd like to use it: have a native launcher
call bytecode functional classes, eventually adding a native gui.
