Lately I've been using gcjh for generating proper native headers.  The
option --with-javah=gcjh to configure takes care of that assuming you
have it installed.

It's likely.  Modify lib/standard.omit to get rid of all awt java code
and modify native/jni/Makefile.am as needed to remove the 'awt' subdir
plus any other native libs you don't want to build.

I really need to do what Kaffe does here and make this a configure
option.  It's not as hard as I once thought.

No.
