Yeah, I've got a vague recollection reading somewhere that there were problems with java/gcj on Apha back in the squeeze cycle, but, whatever, it seems to be fixed now. As an experiment I built openjdk-6 6b24-1.11-1 modified to bootstrap with gcj. It successfully built. I attach the diffs to the debian/rules and debian/control I used just in case you would like to check that I changed to gcj correctly. So I suggest that openjdk-6 be modified to bootstrap with gcj on Alpha in line with the other archs. Thanks Michael.
