Did you build PyLucene from svn sources, that is, did you also compile the 
Java Lucene .java files yourself, or did you use the jar files from the 
PyLucene source tarball ?

It seems that with gcj 4.x, the jar files that are in the tarballs I upload
can't be used, one must compile the Java Lucene files locally.
For that, you must use the Sun JDK or the Blackdown JDK, not gcj's 
.java -> .class which has too many bugs.

Yes, I know, this makes no sense. Java is 'compile once, run anywhere' but 
this is what it's taken for me to get it to work with gcj 4.0.2 on Intel OS X 
and gcj 4.2.0 on x86-64.
