In http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2066, the submitter says:

"automake-1.9.6, when I get to the "make check" step, it fails one test.

Several letters back and forth with the Ralf @ automake, revealed two
things: 1: gcj is never installed by the LFS process. 2: automake's
gcj4.test didn't check for this."

1.  Is this valid for automake-1.10?
2.  Should a sentence be added to the book to point out the failure?
3.  Does this rise to an issue for the 6.3 release?

gcj is the gcc Java compiler.  One fix is to build gcc
--enable-languages=c,c++,java in Chapter 6, but I don't think this
should be done in LFS for just this.
