I agree that enabling libjava by default for mingw should wait for after br= anch. Until then I think an explicit --enable-libgcj should be required. Since Ranjit's original bug report, I have tried several time to build libg= cj natively, in order to verify that it should be enabled by default. Incl= uding libgcj broke bootstrap, not always but often enough for me to have do= ubts about stability of libgcj builds on mingw. I can't attempt to test n= ow because the windows box to which I have access has only 512MB physical = memory and that has long been a personal showstopper for native libgcj buil= ds.=20 Danny
