I would prefer to see gjdoc being removed for the release, if possible. for the 
packages build-depending it for now, just remove it from the b-d's and make sure 
that javadoc is used instead of gjdoc. If for some reason, you need it 
explicitely, maybe b-d on gcj-jdk | gjdoc. The list of packages are:

aspectj babel jaminid jesd jmdns libcsv-java libjibx-java mina trilead-ssh2 weirdx

I'll care about gcj-4.3, and classpath should use the just built gjdoc like the 
gcj-4.4 build does.
