Bug#448789: Static libgcj is not supplied for gcj-4.2

[alex <alexandre.nunes@gmail.com>]

Package: gcj-4.2
Version: 4.2.2-3
Severity: important


Since gcc 4.2.0, gcj incorporated native support for linking to a static
libgcj (via the -static-libgcj option, as explained in
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Statically%20linking%20libgcj ).

The thing is that the static libgcj is nowhere in debian. That was a sound
decision to 4.1, where this sort of static linking was an almost
undocumented feature, but on 4.2 that's standard.
