[Bug bootstrap/19970] New: Java Unnecessarily Disabled for MinGW

[rmathew at gcc dot gnu dot org]

For native and cross builds to MinGW (mingw32 or i386-pc-mingw32), Java and
libgcj are unnecessarily disabled by the top-level configure - they have been
building just fine for quite some time now in mainline. To get libgcj to build,
one has to explicitly specify --enable-libgcj to the configure command.

The following simple change fixes this (configure needs to
be regenerated):

Q: As a (new/cautious) target co-maintainer, is this within my domain  to fix 
without seeking  approval?

This is not a regression, so I assume it would wait until after branching. 
Correct?

I would think so.

Mainline seems to be in a "bug fixes only" mode
right now, not "regressions only". This is confirmed
by the GCC home page.

All said, this is a rather trivial, target-specific,
fix, that should help GCC newbies build GCC
(including Java) for MinGW.

My 2p.
