[gcj-3.2]: US locale [8859_1] coding is not supported

Hi,
I was trying to compile a java app with gcj. The application had a
configure script and was designed with the intention of being
compiled with gcj. It passes this flag (along with others) during
compile time:
"--encoding=8859_1"
which results in failure:
" [...]unknown encoding: `8859_1'
This might mean that your locale's encoding is not supported
by your system's iconv(3) implementation. If you aren't trying
to use a particular encoding for your input file, try the
`--encoding=UTF-8' option"
Sure I could just use UTF-8, which is working perfectly fine [in most
cases, but not all], but I find it a little bizarre that US encodings
would not be supported. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.
Cheers,
Nicholas
