-fno-assume-compiled may help, at least when compiling from
bytecode to native.  For source compiles there isn't much gcj can do about
missing classes, as Tom explained.

Gcj requires that a .jar file be fully resolved at compile time.  The JRE
doesn't.  That's a known problem.  The -fno-assume-compiled option
(partially implemented for 3.4) adds a level of indirection for the
missing classes, allowing the bytecode interpreter to resolve them at
runtime, or never at all.
