>Description:
Trying to compile something using gcj fails because the executable
ecj1 is missing:

gcj: error trying to exec 'ecj1': execvp: No such file or directory


Output of gcj -v :
Using built-in specs.
Reading specs from /usr/pkg/gcc44/lib/gcc/i386-unknown-netbsdelf5.99.51/4.4.5/../../../libgcj.spec

Thread model: posix

On linux gcj fails early because no spec file is installed. 
Content of /usr/pkg/gcc44/lib/libgcj.spec on NetBSD:

#
# This spec file is read by gcj when linking.
# It is used to specify the standard libraries we need in order
# to link with libgcj.

%rename lib liborig

 As the originator of the PR, I would suggest to close the PR.
 Nobody should use this ancient, buggy gcc version.

 If I recall correctly from my work on wip/gcc45 to wip/gcc6snaphot gcj
 never could compile any java code on NetBSD. See for instance:
 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.pkgsrc.wip.review/1993

 I no longer use NetBSD, so I am unable to test the current state of
 gcj in lang/gcc5 or wip/gcc6snapshot. NetBSD is unmaintained in gcc
 upstream for years now, so I have strong doubts that it will work.
