That brings me to my next question: Kawa has a gckawa script (not
installed by the Fedora rpm). This script enables someone to
aot-compile classes compiled by Kawa (from Scheme/XQuery sources)
to native code. I'm trying to figure out to write such a script
so that it uses the installed .jar and .so files, both at
compile/link-time and run-time.
More generally, is there a supported procedure to gcj-compile a
Java application, using installed libraries?
