There was a post awhile back indicating someone had done it for 3.0M7.  I'm
searching the archives for it....

Ahhh, here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-swt-dev/msg03408.html

At ASC, we also have a tool that we compile natively using GCJ as well.
It's really not an option for us to lose this capability.

Steve N: Having native compilation as an option presents Eclipse with a huge
opportunity.  To the extent that we can at least enable (if not support)
this option, I think that this would be a very wise thing to do...

The original person who built 3.0M7 did not post any build scripts, so I
could not duplicate his effort.  Eric, please keep us posted about any
progress you make here.
