This looks like a serious problem, and I doubt this is something we  
can fight :(  As you sure your gcj is properly installed?  Can a

        strace gcj -C -d . conftestlib.java

help understanding what it's waiting for?

Maybe for a start you could try

        gcj -C -d . conftestlib.java </dev/null

and see if it still hangs?

Thanks!
