The argument version specifies which version of GCC to run. This is useful when multiple versions are installed. For example, verĂ¢
           sion might be 2.0, meaning to run GCC version 2.0.
no idea if this works for gcj or what
Neat, it worked for gcj too:

   ~$ gcj --version
   gcj (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)

   ~$ gcj -V 3.4 --version
   i486-linux-gnu-gcc-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.5 20050809 (prerelease) (Ubuntu

However, gcj is not installed by default, only gcc is. Which means that if the user already has to install additional packages, he may just as well be asked to get gcj-3.4.
