GCC 3.3 w/o any patches. Neat.

Will do.

Do you think it is worth the effort to try to create patch for a handful more
of disable/enable-java-foo (like disable/enable-java-awt) configuration
options(i.e. does it stand any chance of being accepted)?

Perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way and there is some easier way to
configure a trimmed down libgcj.
