Dunno. May be it try to use.
As example file "<builddir>tests/testsuite.dir/35/run contain" (after 
make check-local) contain:
=========
...
CPP='i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -E'
...
STRIP='i386-mingw32msvc-strip'
...
GCJ='gcj' GCJFLAGS='-g -O2'
...
=========


Also in the file <srcdir>/tests/convenience.at I found:
=========
262:  # There are just too many broken gcj installations out there, 
either missing
263:  # libgcj.spec or unable to find it.  Skip this test for them.
264:  if test $i -eq 1; then
265:    AT_CHECK([$GCJ $GCJFLAGS -c foo1.java || exit 77], [], [ignore], 
[ignore])
266:    AT_CHECK([$GCJ $GCJFLAGS --main=foo1 -o foo1 foo1.java A1.java 
|| exit 77],[],[ignore],[ignore])
267:    AT_CHECK([./foo1$EXEEXT || exit 77],[],[ignore],[ignore])
=========
and the command "make check-local" report:
 23: Java convenience archives                       skipped 
(convenience.at:267)
