--- Comment #4 from Bruno Haible <bruno at clisp dot org> ---
I am having the same error, even with option -C (which does not need a
-fmain=... option):
$ gcj -v -C HelloWorld.java
Using built-in specs.

The problem is that the file that I specified as --with-ecj-jar value when
configuring GCC no longer exists. The GCC installation has not copied the file
to the GCC installation directory! But the ecj1 program still references it.
I cannot find an option to tell ecj1 about the new file name of ecj-latest.jar.
So I ended up creating a symlink so that the old file name still works.
