It's the "gcj" flag, not "java". I can confirm and elaborate further. In my system, the gcc-4.4.1 built without the gcj USE flag can compile itself with or without the flag. Once built with gcj however, it can no longer compile itself with the flag again, but compiles fine back without it. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-x86_64-AMD_Phenom-tm-_9750_Quad-Core_Processor-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1, 3.1.1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -fivopts -funroll-loops -fsplit-ivs-in-unroller -fvariable-expansion-in-unroller -msse3" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -fivopts -funroll-loops -fsplit-ivs-in-unroller -fvariable-expansion-in-unroller -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j6" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=60 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --compress-level=9 --progress" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync21.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl amd64 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups dri fbcon fortran gd gdbm gmp gpm graphite hpn iconv idn isdnlog ithreads jpeg libedit libffi md5sum mmx mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive opengl openmp pam passwdqc pcre perl png pppd python readline reflection session slang spl sse sse2 ssh ssl sysfs tcpd threads unicode vim-pager vim-syntax xcb xml xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" FOO2ZJS_DEVICES="hp1000 hp2600n" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="ati fbdev fglrx radeon radeonhd vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS

just curious, can you build gcc-4.3 with gcc-4.4's gjar?
As a matter of fact, it also fails: make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libjava' make create-headers here=`pwd`; cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4/work/gcc-4.3.4/libjava/classpath/lib;

Exactly the same error here. This is odd, less than month ago gcc-4.4.1 rebuild was successfull, maybe some java update triggered it. $ emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc44 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0,

I switched java-vm from gcj-jdk to icedtea6 (self build from java overlay, not bindist) and gcc built successfully with gcj use flag.
*** Bug 289008 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Upstream bug added. Patch available.
Suggesting "[4.4/ICE/JAVA] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.1: java.lang.NullPointerException in gjar/libgcj-tools.so.10 when building with java-vm=gcj-jdk" or similar as summary, to make it easier to find this report. (I was just lucky to find it, because there was a duplicate already.)
Upstream bug 39177 has been fixed just now.
(In reply to comment #10) > Upstream bug 39177 has been fixed just now. Is it scheduled to include a patch or use an appropriate snapshot in portage?
*** Bug 299289 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
gcc-4.4.4 includes this fix
