I think it is essential that we support gcj.  I believe that the
classpath project (the class library used by gcj) will have a release
very shortly that will implement the majority of the 1.4 spec thanks
to a large number of patches from IBM.  I am not sure what version
of the jdk is currently supported by gcj but this should be our
minimum.
