For what it's worth, I built armv5b and armv5l toolchains with java enabled.
So far, no problem arose whith the build. I have not yet gotten to trying it
(as I'm not fond of Java, and even quite a newbie there), but it's on my TODO.

I used crosstool 0.37 for that, whith the following utils:
binutils-1.15.91.2
gcc-3.4.3 (core & final)
glibc-2.3.5 or uClibc-20050720

In fact, there is a little glitch when gcjh is installed: the name was
mis-formed because I used a program prefix other than $TARGET, but it is
fixed in later versions of gcc (at least in 3.4.4, no clue about 4.x) and
does not happen when no program prefix is specified (which defaults to
$TARGET).

Attached is the patch I used in case you want to change the prefix (put it
in patches/gcc-3.4.3).

HTH,
Yann E. MORIN.
