While looking for something else I found this (and in general it
looks like the GCJ FAQ could use some spring cleaning).
Lots of "might be possible" in addition to this being really about
quite older versions of GNU/Linux.
Applied.

- <p>If you're using Linux, this probably means you need to upgrade to
- a newwer, glibc (libc6) based Linux distribution. libgcj does not
- support the older linux libc5.</p>
- <p>It might be possible to get a working libgcj by changing
occurrences
- of "sigcontext_struct" to "sigcontext", however this has not been
tested.
- Even if it works, it is likely that there are other issues with older
- libc versions that would prevent libgcj from working correctly
(threads
- bugs, for example).</p>
