This is deliberate. You should be dlopen'ing libjvm.so rather than linking to it directly. To locate it, use $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so like you would on other JVMs. java-1.4.2-gcj-compat symlinks /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so to libgcj's libjvm implementation.

Fair enough; but I don't want to force my users to set JAVA_HOME. Is this
prefix build-time discoverable?

If you're willing to require GCJ's implementation then you can count on libjvm.so being located at:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj/jre/lib/$arch/client/libjvm.so

where $arch is the rpm architecture string. To print this string for the target system, use:

rpm --eval "%{_arch}"

If you'd like to require any JPackage JRE then the architecture string may be a little different (e.g., amd64 vs. x86_64) but the location will be:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/$arch/client/libjvm.so

If you'd like to support other types of JDK installations like /opt or /usr/java then you'll have to do a runtime search.
