Well, you need a 1.5-capable GCJ, which isn't as old as a couple of years :) but anyone can
get it out of the appropriate branch or (if daring) from GCC SVN HEAD (although using the GCC
in SVN HEAD without appropriate genuflections can, I understand, cause ifrits to emerge from
your machine for entirely innocent technical reasons).

Yeah, I just tried it and it failed with gcc 4.2.2 gcj (1.4.2). So bootstraping icedtea
requires unreleased gcj :-(
