I would like to second to that. gcc 4.1 is needed to build wip/jdk16
since kaffe can be built only by using gcc 4.1 at the moment. (Many
thanks to Francois Tigeot for this!) We critically depend on
wip/jdk16, so dropping 4.1 would be very bad news for us.

On x86_64, wip/jdk16 is the only way to get java since last time I
checked, there is no linux.ko and hence can't use lang/sun-jdk6.
