Nobody has used it seriously in years. GCC dropping it is just the final chapter, but really it died long ago. Fedora (not sure about other distros) stopped shipping it a while ago and there's no critical (or even useful) free software tool written using it. So, I think it's safe to delete now. In the unlikely even that someone is using it, they can debug with gdb 7.11. Also, FWIW, it's not outrageously bad to debug gcj-compiled code as if it were C++. You lose a little bit (String printing primarily) and you have to use C++ names for things, but I think otherwise it works ok. Tom
