Yes, this is how I build it. The 20061014 snapshot still says that libffi, 
boehm-gc, libjava, etc.. are not valid configurations when I run the top-level 
configure. I'll try the next snapshot when it's available...

Also, I tried to build the same snapshot on a PPC G4 with OS X 10.4.8 but that
failed at some point saying that it couldn't run the compiler. It looks like 
it's building a compiler for a 64 bit ppc, which my old powerbook is not.

Then, I switched to a G5 with OS X 10.3.9 and that build failed with some 
error about how -force_cupsubtype_ALL needed to be used and I tried adding it 
to every *FLAGS* variable I found in gcc/Makefile.in but that didn't help.

On another note, have you had any success in building a functional gcj 4.x for 
Windows ? I got 4.0.2 to build early July, cross-compiled on Ubuntu, but the 
resulting PyLucene.pyd wasn't functional.

Cheers,

Andi..
