The root cause problem is that GCC has a jni.h file that isn't
compatible with other things, like, say, Java. We've been battling this
for a long time now. Two things:

1) don't let your distro fool you into thinking that GCJ is a JDK. It's
many wonderful things, but a compliant JDK it is not. That, and it's a
dead project. So don't use it anymore.

2) Try 

        $ ./configure
        jdk=/path/to/whatever/the/java/home/is/on/your/system

Based on the work that Manu has been doing to build proper Debian
packages, you might find that

        $ ./configure jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun

could work for you.

If that doesn't work, can you send along the output of .config{,.tmp}?
Also, if you hang in #java-gnome we can probably solve this
interactively. Thanks.
