You should. It is not as fast as jikes but even on my 300 Mhz machine it
takes less then a minute to compile Classpath completely to bytecode.
(jikes takes 

I finally found a way to get gcj to compile Classpath with our build
scripts. You have to make sure that no classes are defined twice on the
command lince. So I changed the gen-classlist script to only look in
the srcdir for java files and to get the gnu/classpath/Configuration.java
file explicitly from the builddir. (You have add it to the standard.omit
list in case you configure in the srcdir.) And gcj goes crazy when it finds
classes on its classpath that are also on its commandline (somehow it gets
confused because it cannot see that ../X.java is the same as ./../X.java).
But if you don't give it any classpath options at all then it compiles
just fine. (I also made sure that all needed files are actually compiled
by changing standard.omit to include some AWT files that have a different
definition in Claspath from the one in libgcj.jar. Already committed.)

Attached is a diff against your patch (and standard.omit against CVS).
Could you include these if you commit your build changes?

Everything was tested against gcc version 3.0.2 20010922 (Debian prerelease).

Cheers,

Mark
