This is good news. Did you have to make any changes to freenet's code to 
compile it with GCJ? I quickly (and without hacking any code) tried to 
build it recently but got stuck because it needed junit, which itself 
required some javax.swing classes that we don't have (but will soon, 
hopefully).

At this point I would reccomend using the GCC 3.1 branch rather than the 
trunk/mainline. The mainline is a bit unstable right now due to branch 
landings (right now libjava is not even building on i686 linux).
