hi david!

actually i was already successful statically cross compiling java programs as 
complex as projectx:

it works both the traditional way
projectx-static-oldfashioned: $(OBJS)
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o ac3.o --resource ac3.bin 
../resources/ac3.bin
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o pjxresources_en.o --resource 
pjxresources_en.properties ../resources/pjxresources_en.properties
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) $(OBJS) pjxresources_en.o ac3.o -
Djava.awt.headless=true --main=net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Start -
save-temps
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -o projectx $(OBJS) pjxresources_en.o ac3.o 
./net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Startmain.i \
	-shared-libgcc -Wl,-non_shared -lgcj -Wl,-call_shared -lsupc++ -Wl,--as-
needed -lgcc_s -lpthread -lc -lm -ldl -lrt -Wl,--no-as-needed
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip --strip-all projectx

and with the new nifty -static-libgcj convenience parameter
projectx-static:
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o ac3.o --resource ac3.bin 
../resources/ac3.bin
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o pjxresources_en.o --resource 
pjxresources_en.properties ../resources/pjxresources_en.properties
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj -static-libgcj -o projectx $(SOURCES) 
pjxresources_en.o ac3.o \
	-Djava.awt.headless=true --main=net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Start
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip --strip-all projectx

however, what's different about this new program is that it requires that c++ 
compiled shared object libaacskeys.so and that's what causes my problems i 
guess
