That indeed sounds like a lot of work. Isn't it easier to 'compile' the
OpenJDK Java classes for the libgcj interface, when gcj has been ported
for java 1.7, or is that impossible?

So, if implementing those new features could be done, I guess I've to
start looking at the contribution guidelines.

I'd like to be able to deploy my application to my users without having
to distribute a JRE with it (that is, for windows users).
Are there any resources where I can start reading on what interfaces are
to be converted to the OpenJDK interface? I could take some time in
October or November trying to convert this.
Another topic: Brian Jones asked if gcj was dying:

In the git history I can't see a lot of history. Is gcj dying indeed?
Thank you for your valuable time!
