It has been removed from the GCC sources and is no longer maintained,
and it contains pre-built binaries. I don’t think we should continue to
support it. We have no other users in Guix (I used to build Tuxguitar
with it, but later switched to IcedTea’s JDK) and the majority of all
users of GCJ work just fine with the OpenJDK.
