And many jakarta projects compile and work fine ( and fast ) using gcj. I've got similar results with IBM's JDK1.3 for linux, which is one of the fastest ( when testing tomcat ), except the startup time which is much better. In addition there is an ant task to compile java to native using gcj ( it's part of j-t-c build process, the jkant package ).
