The issue is that the configure script tries to determine java include libraries. As we are on a Linux system, it looks for $java_top_directory/include/linux. With openjdk, the java top directory is "/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/" while with gcj it is simply "/usr", so /usr/include/linux get added to the include search path. This causes conflicts with the GNU libc headers. The configure script has a special case when the java top directory is "/usr", but it fails on Debian as we are using relative symlinks: test /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/../../../..
