I've some patches at http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/gcj/ to start off building OOo 1.9.61 with gcj/gij as java replacement. If some people with gcj/java expertise want to help make some progress at building the up and coming OOo with gcj support the patches should help get it started. The crucial thing is to get the module xmlhelp built with gcj so that building in helpcontent2 which uses xmlhelp will produce the help files. In xmlhelp "extends sun.net.www.protocol.file.Handler" is a problem, hacking around it currently leads to a crash in helpcontent2. Minor issues are building the modified rhino module, and some odds and ends in the wizards and qadev modules C.
