"native" here means that the compiler runs on
Windows and creates executables for Windows,
without needing Cygwin. In configury terms,
this implies that "host=target=mingw32".
The "build" can be anything else, including
Cygwin or Linux, depending on what's convenient
for you. See this page for more details on these
terms:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html
In fact, I used to create a native GCJ for Windows
on Linux in a two-step process and the process was still
*far faster* and simpler than attempting to do everything
on Windows:

That document is a bit dated, but most of it still remains
valid.
