That may not be recent enough of a snapshot.
I think I used late November ones with success.

For more details, see:
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/pylucene-dev/2006-November/001404.html
(and correct appropriately for your platform).

Please, note that if you wish to use a gcj 4.x compiler, you need to start 
building from the Lucene Java sources (as outlined at the URL above) and not 
from the source tarballs I produce. These seem to work with gcj 3.4.x only for 
a strange, so far unsolved, reason.

GCJ 4.x is rather bleeding edge, if you want to take an easier route, use gcj 
3.4.6. If yu need to build gcj 3.4.x from sourcesm, see PyLucene's INSTALL 
file.
