Hi,

  I've updated my "Building GCJ for Windows" article:

  http://rmathew.com/articles/gcj/bldgcj.html

as well as the associated scripts to work with the latest
GCC sources.

At the moment of this writing, you will need these patches:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2006-q2/msg00285.html
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-06/msg00410.html

for the mainline to be able to build GCJ for MinGW.

MinGW really needs to get the libgcj.dll thing working.
Right now each of the executables statically linked
with libgcj (like gij.exe, jv-convert.exe, etc.) are *huge* - about
40MB before stripping off debugging information and about 15MB
after that. :-(

The compiler is able to create binaries and I've done almost
no testing beyond "Hello World!", though I notice that the
stack traces are completely busted.

HTH,
Ranjit.
