If we had to supply gcj along with PostgreSQL in order for PostgreSQL to

Not true--"mere aggregation" (shipping two things together) does not
require all the aggregated software to be GPL'd. And you're not
linking to the gcj compiler, just running it.

This particular part of the problem is a non-issue.
