OK.

-lgc is for the boehmgc in case you configured vmkit to use it. Since you
don't need it (vmkit uses its own gc by default), you should change the
tools/llcj/llcj.cpp file, remove the line with "-lgc" and recompile it. Yes,
it's _that_ of a new feature yet :)

No, but you can create a big .jar file containing all the class files you
need.

Add it to the big .jar file.

OK, if it has native functions, chances are jnjvm does not implement them.

You can do that, or just insert them to your .jar file.
