First off, let us thank Nelson for doing all this testing work for us.
Thank you!

Then, let's avoid us getting blame for broken gcj installations.
OK to apply this patch to avoid the gcj test when a compile would fail?
Or do you feel tests for working compilers should be done in configure
already?

Cheers,
Ralf
