What's the reason for this? As far as I remember (I may be wrong) the
reason was to not link libs not used in the final binary. This doesn't
apply to gcj. The GCJ shared libs are a bit different to normal C
libraries. Stuff is resolved at runtime and not at compile time.

Yes, that's important to get a working package on the newer archs like
Debian/kfreebsd.
