I've had to put special code into my own build system to switch between
standard jvms and the gcj suite.
I'm not sure what you mean by "other standard  $(JAVA) and $(JAVAC)",
except by by reference to what JDK does.  We do try to match at least the
most generally-used flags.  Patches to improve the command-line processing
of 'gij' and 'gcj -C' so they better match 'java' and 'java' would be 
very welcome;
in lieu of that a gnats bug report would also be welcome so at least we know
there is a problem.  (No guarantee that it will be fixed, of course.)
