Yes, thank you Nelson.

I think the test for a working GCJ should be in libtool, and unset GCJ,
avoid adding the tag etc.if it is found to be nonfunctional. We would
have to issue a warning during configure or something. Does not look to
be quite as easy as this patch though, if you want to apply this one as
a stop-gap measure, that is fine.
