--with-gcj-home is really designed for a Classpath JDK, so there's no
guarantee that will always work with anything else.  --with-libgcj-jar
has now been dropped; as can be seen in your example, it's derivable
from --with-gcj-home.

There's not much other option given that the BSD tree is 7 only,
unless you want to use IcedTea7.
