Hi Mark,

You'll probably find that, in addition to the VMCompiler vs. MD5 thing, 
there are a couple more issues with an import right now:

- GCJ bug resulting in a link error in Swing code - 
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26390
- Dependence on Java 1.5 Character implementation. Anthony Balkissoon is 
currently working on updating libgcj's Character, paralleling his work 
on Classpath's implementation.

These are all pretty easy to work around, of course.
