Request gcc 34 port build gcj

[Patrick Dung]

Hi

I have noticed that file at the end of August.
I have email a proposed solution to pdftk's author.
Below is my mail to the author/
Note that I can 'fix' pdftk to build with gcj41 but the resulting
binary core dump.

BTW, from author's web site: http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/#build
You see that: I build pdftk using gcc/gcj/libgcj versions 3.3.4.
So I think gcj34 is the best thing to compile pdftk.
