MACOSX support

So,
first of all gcj for MACOSX is WIP.
We're working on and beside some testing it is not useful yet.
The version you mention 3.2.2 may build a hello World native & interpreted.
And also a few testcases will pass. But I doubt if you can use it for more.
A recent snapshot of 3.3 will show you much more working code. Though, not
completed yet.
>From my view it will probably go in in a 3.4 release. (means enable by default)
For 3.3 it is too late since we're lacking some functionalities which are
not yet merged. (boehm-gc)
Too late in the regard of the release date for 3.3 which will be soon.
Regarding ufs/hfs+, this issue was solved about a year ago. I just verified
last night that building on hfs+ still works. The source is on ufs. Now
I run a build with both src and objdir on a hfs+.
I think at least the fs should be a hfs+ (extended) and NOT hfs.
So you don't have to reformat.
If you try to build it, pick a 3.3 snapshot, it has much improvements in.
Hope it helps,
Andreas
