It may be enough for you to make a symbolic link such that 

javadoc -> /usr/bin/gjdoc

If you use java-gcj-compat as suggested by VMiklos, it does almost the same thing: 
/usr/bin/javadoc -> /etc/alternatives/javadoc
/etc/alternatives/javadoc -> /usr/bin/gjdoc

It must be possible because I build vanilla OOo on GNU/Linux SPARC with
apache-ant-1.6.5 using only gcc/gcj which is built from vanilla gcc sources
at gcc.gnu.org. This needs the patches in cws_src680_maho1 to remove some
hard-coded java commands.

Sorry if I missed this before - which Linux distribution are you using? Some
distributions provide different methods to handle gcj. It will be easier to
use what is recommended for your distribution, again I think that is the
message from VMiklos comments.

But it also might be useful to see the java properties as these might be
related to the error message. You would need to put that code in a file then
compile and run it, put the full path for the required javac and java
commands:

/path/to/javac GetJVMInfo.java
or
/path/to/gcj -C GetJVMInfo.java

then
/path/to/java GetJVMInfo
or
/path/to/gij GetJVMInfo
