Yes. This is the procedure we worked out for bootstrapping Eclipse builds for Fedora. I've actually found some issues with a natively-compiled ecj being used for the rest of the Eclipse build so we do this: 1. build ecj to bytecode using gcj -C 2. use the resulting ecj to re-build itself (using upstream's methods) 3. use _this_ resulting ecj as the "javac" for the rest of the Eclipse build procecudure (again using upstream's methods) After the upstream build procedure finishes, we natively-compile each jar with gcj.
