Yeah. Thanks for going through all the trouble. Part of the reason of
making a release will be to help people just do a configure && make &&
make install and not figure out all the GNU auto* stuff.

How strange. I just did a clean checkout and then a:
aclocal; autoheader; automake; autoconf

The automake step generated the Makefile.in from the Makefile.am in
gnu/java/io.

So doing a ./configure --with-gcj worked like a charm for me.

You do have a file gnu/java/io/Makefile.am?
Does rerunning automake create the gnu/java/io/Makefile.in file?
What about the files in gnu/java/beans/info? Do the Makefile.am,
Makefile.in and Makefile file exist in that one?

Cheers,
