That is a big task.  The simplest way to do it, I suspect, is to enable
the OpenJDK runtime to load gcj classes rather than to adapt the OpenJDK
class library to gcj.  This sounds rather counter-intuitive, but the
interface between class library and virtual machine is not at all
portable or well-documented, and it is complex.

I agree.
