RFD: Precompile ecj [Was Re: GCCMain not found & test suite errors fatal?]

[Andrew Haley <aph@redhat.com>]

This makes ecj1 (and therefore gcj with Java source) much faster but
takes 1m30s of CPU on a very fast computer.  It doesn't really seem to
make the build longer on a multi-CPU box, since it runs in parallel with
the rest of the build AFAICS.  Do you think we can get away with this?

Andrew.
