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:

I have not tried it. But changing from --prefix=${prefix} to --prefix=${prefix}/lib/gcc4.4 would probably change where other files are installed, and perhaps how the port is used, which seems drastic, or at least something the maintainer should decide. Cc'ing him now.

Note that gcc45 and up do have an option to specify where ecj is installed. Perhaps that option can just be backported.
