Yes. ;-)
In fact, I am currently working to fix the gcc ports on sparc and ia64,
where libjava is not built. My plan is to add a knob, WITHOUT_LIBJAVA
or similiar, which is enabled by default on these two platforms, and
which you could then simply use for your purpose as well.
Since I assume you are mostly worried about build time and size of the
package, this might in fact be sufficient? (Building Java without libjava
is comparatively cheap.) If it is not, you can simply extend the
framework I'm going to add to also disable Java per se.
Does that sound like a good plan?

We should try to avoid relying on Perl, as far as I understood.
