As an update I've been able to successfully build and run the essential
java tools used during OOo's build, along with successfully building a
number of other runtime components, which at least means that I can
build OOo 1.9.X with gcj and get a working runable resulting suite :-)

Currently having a bit of difficulty in registering the various optional
java extra components which got successfully built with gcj so that OOo
will attempt to use them, but I've also had problems in the past with
such components built with blackdown jdk vs the sun one, so its unlikely
to be gcj side issue.

Now that it apparently can be made work I'll try and see what changes
were strictly necessary after all and boil down some testcases of any
true unexpected behaviour.
