Comment (by kenneth.f.cunningham@…):

 I fixed this on Tiger/PPC just now by editing the portfile to remove java
 from the installed languages and removing libgcj* from the installed
 distfiles. Then it installed just fine. I suspect this same fix would work
 on Leopard PPC as well.

 Given everything said about the state of the java compiler in gcc, this
 seems no loss. It apparently hasn't been updated since about 2012.

 Also, for whatever reason, gcc5 installs (including java) with no trouble,
 so that is still functional if gcj is really needed for something.
