I could not find an option to tell gcc43 or gcc44 to install ecj in a different location, therefore ecj support was never added to gcc43 or gcc44. Would love to fix this, if you know how and can supply a patch. See:

Ryan,
   I've never had this problem with the fink gcc4x packages that I maintain, however I use...

ConfigureParams: <<
 --prefix=%p/lib/gcc4.4 --mandir=%p/share/man --infodir=%p/lib/gcc4.4/info  --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,java \
 --with-gmp=%p --with-libiconv-prefix=%p --without-ppl --without-cloog --with-mpc=%p --with-system-zlib \
 --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --program-suffix=-fsf-4.4
<<

I suspect if you pass '--prefix=${prefix}/lib/gcc4.4, your problems with ecj.jar placement will disappear.
In fink, this results in ecj.jar being placed in /sw/lib/gcc4.4/share/java, etc.
