Just strip it:
aking@nanostorm:~/gcj-test$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcj --main=HelloWorld -o hello.exe HelloWorld.java
aking@nanostorm:~/gcj-test$ ls -al hello.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 aking users 10824061 Apr 3 14:17 hello.exe*
aking@nanostorm:~/gcj-test$ strip hello.exe
aking@nanostorm:~/gcj-test$ ls -al hello.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 aking users 1208320 Apr 3 14:17 hello.exe*
There now seems to be an exception when compiling java code that uses
exceptions:
aking@nanostorm:~/gcj-test$ i686-pc-mingw32-gcj --main=GCJTest -o gcjtest GCJTest.java
/home/aking/mingw-gcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.1/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgcj.a(exception.o): In function `abort':

I was hoping Adam M. would have a chance to look at this error, but
if not, I'll try and track it down this evening. The java code
is at the end.

public class GCJTest
{
	public static void main( String[] args )
	{
		try
		{
			Thread.sleep( 2000 );
		}
		catch( Exception e )
		{
		}
	}
}
