There is a gcj port for mingw (that uses native windows calls where
libgcj would normally use posix) that people have used to create
binaries that run on Windows which is maintained by Mohan Embar:

There is also a guide by Ranjit Mathew on cross compiling so you can use
your GNU/Linux machine to create the windows binaries (and test them
using Wine):

Adam Megacz created the XWT framework that demonstrates how to use gcj
to create native Active X components from java source code that can run
in Internet Explorer without needing a preinstalled VM:
