Good point.

I still think the text can be improved; how about like this:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec GNU Java Compiler
'/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.0.3/jc1':

* This includes the full-path, as this is hard coded per build of gcc as I
understand it. i.e. "jc1" is not in the PATH.

* This change is needed because:
  (a) the present error mentions a directory
  (b) an indication of what jc1 actually is helps the user resolve the problem.

I'll wait for a reply before re-opening the bug.
Cheers
Jon
