Hi! While going through the supported compilers and build flags recently, I noticed that dpkg-buildflags and the various dpkg Makefile fragment files still have support for gcj, but that compiler seems to have stopped being maintained some time ago. According to Wikipedia (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_for_Java>) the final release was in 2018, and we do not even have it in Debian anymore. So I guess it should be fine to rip that off? A quick codesearch.d.n didn't reveal much of a usage. But I'd like to hear whether this would break or disrupt things, before I consider removing these. Thanks, Guillem
