No, you said they were committed so I thought that's ok and that there 
are new problems.

Currently these are the problems:
- ecj.jar can't be compiled on a host=Linux target=mingw build
- a host=mingw target=mingw uses the wrong gcj (ignores --wigh-gcj=...)

That's all. I think you fixed way more stuff back then. So this is 
probably new stuff here... And they're not that bad... I can live with it.
Ah, btw: Thanks for your effort and all you patches when you worked with 
the ecj branch. I think I never honored that :-(
