If the compile-to-native feature is needed I would start using
directly the java-gcj-compat-dev package (see patch from ubuntu
for example http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/antlr/)

This would also reduce divergences.

I only found a changelog entry from gcc-3.0

But I think a short questions to the GCC Maintainers would
be good. This also affects the java-gcj-compat package which
is not available on mips/mipsel.
