 Iterating the command with "gcc46" returns "gettext-tools", "fftw" and
"fftw3". The latter two are not installed on my system, but the former
is used by a large number of packages (including gcc46).

I'm not sure how "the latter two are not installed" on your system,
given that "fink list -u" displays up-to-date INSTALLED packages.

In any event gettext-tools doesn't _use_ gcc46, but rather has a build
conflict against it.

No.  You just can't run "fink update-all" with your given installed
package setup.

ppl9 won't build if it can't find Java headers.

It may be the case that the build process will actually find them, and
it just happens that you're missing the piece that Fink is looking for.
 Other people have had this problem before and have been able to satisfy
Fink by adding a symbolic link.

Or it may be the case that ppl9 can be configured not to try to build
Java stuff.  I don't know if supports that, however.

What does "fink list -o" return?  Since you've followed Option 1, we can
at least tell what package(s) still remain to be updated.
