This topic comes up periodically. We have some ideas for how to
reduce the footprint of libgcj, but so far nobody has implemented
them.
Adam Megacz has a script which might help. I don't remember what it
does exactly :-(, or where to find it. You'd have to search the
archives.
Linking statically will probably help some. Sometimes there are
tricks to getting this to work correctly. Again, this is in the list
archives.
