I can't speak for the team, but I feel that if GCJ doesn't improve the
speed by more than 15-20% on amd64/i386 it's probably not worth the trouble.

Sorry I have never used GCJ for a new packages so I can't really help,
but I suggest looking at the few packages depending on gcj-native-helper
(ant, libitext-java and hsqldb1.8.0 for example).
