that is not odd at all:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/gcj

the arguments are different there
-fsource
-ftarget

and because it is not the first time someone fails into it
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Make-help-td4035866.html
why not to add a check in configure and fail earlier?

But why do we still stick to 1.5 source and target version of bytecode anyway?
