I experienced something similar trying to build subversion on an
amd64 machine:

 $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac -target 1.5 -source 1.5 \
	-d subversion/bindings/javahl/classes \
	-classpath subversion/bindings/javahl/classes:\
subversion/bindings/javahl/src:\
/usr/share/java/junit.jar \
	subversion/bindings/javahl/src/org/apache/subversion/javahl/ClientException.java \
	subversion/bindings/javahl/src/org/apache/subversion/javahl/ClientNotifyInformation.java \
[... etc ...]
	subversion/bindings/javahl/src/org/apache/subversion/javahl/types/Version.java
 /usr/bin/ecj-gcj: error while loading shared libraries: libgcj_bc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [subversion/bindings/javahl/classes/org/apache/subversion/javahl/ClientException.class] Error 127

Upgrading libgcj-bc to 4.6.1-2 fixes it.

(By the way, libgcj-bc's documentation directory is a symlink to
libgcj-common but the versioned dependency libgcj-bc -> libgcj-common
is not very strict, making it hard to dig up a changelog.  Would it
be possible to make that dependency use "=" or to give libgcj-bc its
own documentation directory?)
