In other words, don't do what you just did. Just rely on standard behaviour, and set build.compiler in your build.properties to gcj if you want to build with gcj.

Also be aware that on systems without Sun Java, there's also a "javac" that calls gcj's compiler; hence, "javac" does not mean Sun Java. Moreover, I thought the goal of the whole exercise was to get the xrpcwrapper compiled with both, Sun Java and gcj, right? Hence, what is/was the reason to (try to) force the use of "javac"?

You misunderstood the point of ant.
javac just calls "a" compiler. If the system is b0rkened and calling gcj "javac" then that's a problem of that system. ant just has built in support for a number of compilers (and their special flags needed). You can just tell ant which compiler it should use by setting the build.compiler property accordingly. In other words, ant will (try and) find the right compiler for you.
