Thanks Bryce.

Should I be adding a '-l' arg to my build command line?
(note, my gnome-related libs are in ~/src/gnome/objdir/lib)
Hmm... here's what that gets me:

~/temp/gcj_stuff $ gcj -o baz --main=TestAWT -l ~/src/gnome/objdir/lib 
TestAWT.java
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -l/Users/john/src/gnome/objdir/lib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
