Mine still fail, with yesterday's snapshot :-(

I didn't know about it.
I've been thinking of taking a similar approach to that of libgcc to
build libgcj.zip: creating at configure time an auxiliary Makefile
with all rules needed to build libgcj.zip and its class files, that
would be either appended to the automake&autoconf-generated Makefile
via AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, or called explicitly from Makefile's
libgcj.zip build rule.
