Modern versions of gcj only compile .class files to object code. gcj
doesn't directly compile Java source code, nor generate bytecode.
(early versions of gcj did do these things, but it was changed years
ago)
When you give it .java source files, gcj actually first calls out to
regular java compiler, then compiles the resulting .class files. You
can see the commands its running by adding -v to your command line.

That's right. A gcc plugin will never have a chance to run when using
"gcj -C" because the gcc compiler itself is not run.
