Because part of the libgcj library is written in C++ :).  GCJ's
runtime library is written in Java, C, and C++ and C++ code can call
Java code via the CNI interface which was created even before JNI was
designed :).  GCJ does support JNI now too but GCJ was the first Java
implementation to support native libraries even before Sun did.

Someone needs to read code more.
