Looks like you need to remove natEmbeddedWindow.cc from nat_source_files 
as well. BTW: Anyone know if/why we need this file?

Yeah, unfortunately you currently need to use a special version of 
automake to rebuild the libjava Makefile.in: 
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/java/automake-gcj-1.4.tar.gz
It might be easier just to hack the Makefile.in directly for now.
