I'll warn you now that you'll need a recent version of gcj for this to
work.  Only the gcj that's on Fedora 7, which has only been out a
couple of weeks, will work.  I don't know what's on your Ubuntu system.

It will probably be useful for us to try building icedtea with gcj
built from downloaded source for the benefit of people whose operating
systems don't have the latest version installed.

Andrew.
