The right hint was given to you already.

You have problem finding com.sun.tools.javac.Main? GCJ definitely
provides that class for compatibility.

$ unzip -l /usr/share/java/libgcj-tools-4.3.jar | grep javac.Main.class
     3611  03-17-07 05:36   com/sun/tools/javac/Main.class

So your problem must be somewhere else.
