That doesn't help when running autoconf though. Specifically, from
libtool.m4:

AC_CACHE_CHECK([if $compiler supports -c -o file.$ac_objext],
  [_LT_AC_TAGVAR(lt_cv_prog_compiler_c_o, $1)],
  [_LT_AC_TAGVAR(lt_cv_prog_compiler_c_o, $1)=no
   $rm -r conftest 2>/dev/null
   mkdir conftest
   cd conftest
   mkdir out
   ifelse([$1],[],[save_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
                   CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -o out/conftest2.$ac_objext"],
          [$1],[CXX],[save_CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"
                   CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -o out/conftest2.$ac_objext"],
          [$1],[GCJ],[save_GCJFLAGS="$GCJFLAGS"
                   GCJFLAGS="$GCJFLAGS -o out/conftest2.$ac_objext"])
   echo "$lt_simple_compile_test_code" > conftest.$ac_ext

   ...

   ifelse([$1],[],[CFLAGS="$save_CFLAGS"],
          [$1],[CXX],[CXXFLAGS="$save_CXXFLAGS"],
          [$1],[GCJ],[GCJFLAGS="$save_GCJFLAGS"])

I've patched this to use CFLAGS in exchange for GCJFLAGS but only when
doing tests like the above. GCJFLAGS is still present in Makefile.am.

Shouldn't autoconf support gcj natively?
