If the MacPorts gcc44 maintainers would adopt the gcc44-disable-libjava.diff
patch that is used in the fink gcc4x builds...

http://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/21341/gcc44-disable-libjava.diff

and pass --disable-libjava-multilib to configure, the time required
for the gcc44 package to build would be significantly reduced. It is
pretty absurd to waste time building the libjava multilib since no
one will ever use it. This is why RedHat came up with that patch for
their rpms.
