Well, GCJ can compile Java -> Native, Java -> ByteCode, ByteCode -> Native. So using GCJ isnt against portability at all as it can produce ByteCode. GCJ can be used as a plugin for javac (and gij, part of gcj, as plugin for java). One reason to use precompiled Java is that it performs better in some critical things.
