Slackware 9.0 comes with GCC and GCJ 3.2.2:

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.0/slackware/d/

However, you'd be much better off working with 3.3,
at least for Java. Newer Slackware versions come
with RPM and can easily install an RPM (some RPMs
have excessively narrow pre-req version requirements,
so this might not be that painless).

If you have some time, you can very easily build
GCC, including GCJ, on Slackware following the
instructions at:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

It's not as complicated as it looks. :-)
