When gcj/gcc produces sub-optimal code wouldn't it make more sense to just fix gcj? Can you give some examples of such code? Thanks, Mark P.S. There is http://vmkit.llvm.org/ladyvm.html if you need to use llvm/vmkit. It might not produce the fastest runtime code, but it is a quick way to mix and match various existing free software projects to produce something gcj/java-like.
