What I ended up with is the JRE 1.3 from Blackdown which they say they have license from Sun and this is the only one that did not compain.
I've been writing serious Java code for about 6 years now (cut my teeth on 1.0 alpha!). In my experience the blackdown port is generally the most stable on linux, Kaffe I have had several problems with and I have generally given up on using it for any of my work, but then I am usually doing some very strange things ;) I have not played with GJC yet so I can't commenet on that.
One Java compiler/runtime I may suggest looking at is Jikes (from IBM). I used it a few years ago and was very impressed. I'm not sure how well it plays with apache/java serverlets though.
