Bug #30591 is closed by the reason from
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30591#c6 .

I would like to clone issue as cross build obj ecjx don't work in my case:
The part of .../gcc/Makefile is:
build=i486-pc-linux-gnu
host=i486-pc-linux-gnu
target=i486-pc-mingw32

The part of ../i486-mingw32/libjava/Makefile
build_triplet = i486-pc-linux-gnu
host_triplet = i486-pc-mingw32
target_triplet = i486-pc-mingw32


It seems to me ecjx can't be build as part of libjava build process:
- build of ecjx.o
..../build/gcc-i486-mingw32/./gcc/xgcc .... -c -o ecjx.o
../../../src/gcc-4.4.0/libjava/ecjx.cc ...
- build of executable :
i486-pc-linux-gcj -o ecjx.exe .... ecjx.o
make: i486-pc-linux-gcj: Command not found

So far so good but may native compiler is :
/usr/bin/gcj with symlink to
/usr/bin/i486-slackware-linux-gcj
So the first problem is why is not peeked correct compiler ? Note that C, C++,
Fortran builds just fine.

Next lets create a symlink to "missing" gcj compiler:
# cd /usr/bin; ln -s gcj i486-pc-linux-gc
$ make ecjx.exe
i486-pc-linux-gcj -o ecjx.exe ...  ecjx.o
ecjx.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

And this is expected as :
$ file ecjx.o
ecjx.o: 80386 COFF executable not stripped - version 30821
