How about ARM?

As an alternative, I was thinking of stripping down libgcj unti its
size is acceptable. My Java language needs are pretty limited, so an
approach like micro-libgcj (although that seems to miss a few classes
I do need) seems feasible as well. It would just be nicer if the
compiler could do the stripping down, instead of me...
Would you recommend such an approach over the static linking?
Any down-sides (speed)?
Thanks again,
