All Java test cases are failing for me as well.

  % which gcj
  /usr/local/bin/gcj
  % gcj --version
  gcj (GCC) 4.1.0

  % echo $JAVAC

  % echo 'public class conftestlib {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
      System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
  }
  ' > conftestlib.java
  % gcj -C -d . conftestlib.java
  % gij conftestlib
  Hello World

All Java test cases fail in the same way:

  % ./testsuite -v 178
  ## --------------------------- ##
  ## GNU Bison 2.3a+ test suite. ##
  ## --------------------------- ##
  178. java.at:358: testing ...
  ./java.at:358: bison -o Calc.java Calc.y
  ./java.at:358: test -n "$CONF_JAVA$CONF_JAVAC" || exit 77
  ./java.at:358: $SHELL ../../../javacomp.sh Calc.java
  stderr:
  Java compiler not found, try installing gcj or set $JAVAC, then reconfigure
  stdout:
  ./java.at:358: exit code was 1, expected 0
  178. java.at:358:  FAILED (java.at:358)

When the user has no Java compiler, shouldn't the Java test cases just be 
skipped?
