Yes: all these options (JAVA, FORTRAN, OBJC) ought really to be
defaulting to on and only suppressed when necessary for the specific
platform/version combinations where they're known to be broken beyond
economic repair.  

In fact gcc-configure-common.inc is doing the right thing, but it does
seem that some joker has decided to turn them off by default in the
gcc-4.x.x.inc files.  I'd certainly be in favour of deleting those
assignments for new versions of gcc-4.x.x.inc, and perhaps even
retrospectively deleting them for the existing versions too.
