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.

If libtool is integrated into a package and the package declares that it needs a Java compiler, then failure to pass basic tests should cause configure to quit with an error (similar to the way configure fails if the C compiler does not work). If libtool is built stand-alone (as in our distribution) then there should be a warning but the user should still be able to build and install libtool.
