Hmm, does it appear in the Makefile?  In the gcc tree at least, it is
set in configure.ac:

if test -n "${with_cross_host}"; then
   AC_DEFINE(NO_SIGSET,1,[use empty GC_disable_signals and GC_enable_signals])
   AC_DEFINE(NO_DEBUGGING,1,[removes GC_dump])
fi


You could edit the generated headers and rebuild; that ought to do it.
Also, as you noted, you'll have to relink and reinstall libgcj; the GC
is built as a convenience library.
