Yes, I use a build of gcj 3.4.6 I made a while ago. It is available here:
http://builds.osafoundation.org/compilers/windows/mingw-5.0-3.4.6.tar.bz2

Did you build your gcj 3.4.2 for Windows yourself ? If so, how ? If not, where 
did you get it from ?

I'd love to see a PyLucene build for Windows done on a recent gcj 4.x 
snapshot but I haven't had time to try that build. It's usually a multi-day 
effort to get a sane gcj for windows.

That info is very relevant because most 'strange' PyLucene bugs are actually 
gcj/libgcj/gc issues. Some gcj issues are solved in newer gcj releases but not 
all. It's definitely very relevant information and I wanted it to add with the 
link to your build I should be adding shortly on the PyLucene homepage.
