gcj doesn't include AWT.

I don't know if this exists. I don't even know if the current gcj can
build at all on Windows. Nobody has been actively supporting the
Windows port (which was never quite complete in the first place), so
it might have rotted a little.

You have to link libgcj into your java executable somehow. By
default, on platforms where it is supported, libgcj does include the
bytecode interpreter and is built as a shared library (dll on
Windows).
However, you can configure the interpreter out and then link
statically if that is what you really want.
