Perhaps you could conduct an experiment and check how much compilation
time and/or space you will save when disabling the Java frontend per se,
and not just libgcj?
I'd be interested to see the differences between
- full gcc34 port
- gcc34 port without libgcj
- gcc34 port without libgcj and the whole Java frontend
If the data is convincing, I'm still worried about the complexity thing,
but if there is a worthwhile payoff and one of my fellow ports committers
who has more experience in this area is willing to review the patch, I'll
let this convince myself. :-) Deal?
