[Bug 1383742] Re: powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcj won't run due to missing libgcj.spec

[Steve Langasek]

As Matthias has noted, this package exists to provide a minimally
functional cross-compiler for bootstrapping.  It is not supported by
Canonical as a general-purpose cross-compiler for Java.

Unassigning from the taco-screen-team, but leaving this bug open as a
valid wishlist bug.
