Have you considered gcj -M -MF? It seems to work well enough for libgcj:

$ gcj -C -M -MF Component.d java/awt/Component.java
$ cat Component.d
java/awt/Component.class: java/awt/Component.java \
 /home/bryce/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/../../share/libgcj.jar \
 ./java/beans/PropertyChangeListener.java ./java/util/EventListener.java \
 ./java/beans/PropertyChangeEvent.java ./java/util/EventObject.java \
 ./java/io/Serializable.java ./java/lang/Object.java \
... etc ...
