GCJ on OOo

Hello all,

I was just wondering what the state of using gcj in place of jdk was  
for OOo on FreeBSD. Is there any information you can bestow to me? I  
ask this because perusing the Makefile shows that one can use the gcj  
flag (but I cannot tell if it is marked as broken).

I know from the research that I have done that pre-2.0, it was  
possible (this was how RedHat did it for their distro), but once 2.0  
came out, the state of gcj did not permit such a build. I also know  
that both groups have supposedly made some headway in allowing gcj  
usage.

I do apologize if this is too common of a question or if I missed  
some crucial information somewhere in my research.

-Anthony
