If I understand your question, then yes. Just link normally with gcj
-v. The -v option tells the compiler to be verbose about what it's
doing. Look at the list of objects files and libraries that it uses in
the link. Then link again, this time with gcj -nostdlib and use that
entire list of object files and libraries, simply replacing -lgcj with
your own version.
