Heads up chances are you will want to add f77, objc, gcj to your default
USE flags for all profiles if you still want a bloated gcc by default.
This changes behavior from yesteryear where everything was built by 
default. The basic motivation for this change can be found in here
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49284

Current IUSE flags look like.
"X bootstrap build f77 gcj hardened java multilib nls objc static
uclibc"

Why has it been implemented such that for gcj to be build both gcj and java 
need to be in the useflags while having only one will have the same result as 
having none? I find this a bit confusing.

Good question I wish I knew the answer but I don't as I avoid them both
like the plague. Azarah or Bugzilla may have some insight for you
however.

What is the difference between the java and gcj use flags here? /me isn't 
up on all of the various gcc compile options.

For historic reasons currently you need both java and gcj in USE to have
gcj support built ...

As I said in another mail, I do not think we should add gcj to the
default USE flags, as it is huge, and most people do not use it ...
opinions?

Another thought might be to drop the 'if use java && use gcj' and rather
make it 'if use gcj' to check weather to build gcj support or not ...
Ideas?
