Then, let's avoid us getting blame for broken gcj installations.
OK to apply this patch to avoid the gcj test when a compile would fail?
Or do you feel tests for working compilers should be done in configure
already?
My feeling is that the sooner a

What would be ideal is to check that the compiler exists, is executable,
