Comment (by kencu):

 I think we just dumped the `java` compiler in `gcc6+` as being useless. so
 it doesn't even try (there isn't one).

 If I understand what you're explaining, this command just hangs, and never
 returns? :
 {{{
 /opt/local/libexec/gcc/ppc-apple-darwin9/5.5.0/ecj1 conftestlib.java -g1
 -fbootclasspath=./:/opt/local/share/gcc-5/java/libgcj-5.5.0.jar -foutput-
 class-dir=. -g1 -fsource=1.5 -ftarget=1.5 -fzip-dependency
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_nue.de.rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_bison
 /bison-runtime/work/.tmp/ccCmqQQG.zip
 }}}

 first thing I would do is try running that command manually in the proper
 directory and see if it tells you anything useful...
