I have not the slightest idea why that should make any difference.  After
all, your ecj1 script set the classpath.  But I never understood what was
causing your problem anyway.

That path is fraught with pain and disaster.  Java is inherently a dynamic
language and many components use runtime class lookup, so statically
linking fails.  However, after a lot of difficulties some people on this
list have successfully statically linked with gcj; perhaps they can help you.
