Hadoop *normally* uses the Sun JDK. Using gcj successfully would be a bit

GCJ 4.2 does NOT work. With minor tweaks it's possible to compile all
Hadoop classes, including contrib, but it doesn't run properly. The
offending class is org.apache.hadoop.io.Text (CharacterEncoder works
differently from the Sun implementation, perhaps it's broken). This
class (Text) is widely used throughout Hadoop, so it won't work with GCJ
for now ...
