Why don't you try something like this:

private static Class _c = 
 System.getProperty("java.vendor","").equals("Free Software Foundation, Inc.") ? 
 gnu.java.locale.Calendar.class : null;

You will have to include libgcj-<x.y.z>.jar in classpath when compiling to 
bytecode. But the bytecode should run fine, using a Standard JVM, without that 
jar in its classpath.

At least I have tested it with the folloing class, and it worked:

public class TestClass {
	
	private static Class _c = System.getProperty(
		"java.vendor","").equals("Free Software Foundation, Inc.") ? 
		gnu.java.locale.Calendar.class : null;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Date date=new Date();
		System.out.println(Integer.toString(1900+date.getYear()));				
	}
}

The bytecode test was made, using Sun's JVM, like this:
java -classpath . TestClass

libgcj-<x.y.z>.jar was not in current directory, and it was not in the Sun's stuff, 
so I think it is safe to say that it was not in the classpath.

I hope this helps...
