 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.
