> The new GNU based compiler, GCJ, compiles both Java source files and
> bytecode compiled Java class files to native code for a wide range of
> target architectures.
> 
> GCJ is a work in progress.  We're also working on the set of runtime
> libraries needed for executing GCJ compiled code, and extensions to
> GDB, the GNU debugger, for debugging GCJ compiled code.
