gcj is a variant of gcc that compiles static Java into native code
ahead of time.  It does so in a way that's compatible with how
g++ compiles C++, and the two languages interoperate freely provided
the libgcj library is linked.  Now that Sun Java is open source, it's
not being very actively developed, but it would certainly be possible
to make Chicken and Java code interoperate nicely using it.
