[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] dependencies: Reject gcj in BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA check

Xbmc uses the Groovy java package to generate API code, for details see
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Codegeneration#How_it_works

Groovy itself is broken when used with gcj:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-3701

Xbmc recommends to use another java package instead, like openjdk:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=199742

Until we come up with a host package to provide a java setup and
in order to make autobuilder happy let´s reject gcj when we check
for a java installation on the host.

Currently Xbmc is the only package using BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA
so changing the behaviour of dependencies.sh has no side effects.
