It says:

The Linux binaries distributed by mozilla.org are now compiled with GCC 
3.2. If you're using these binaries then you will need the 3.2 version 
of the Java Plugin from Sun J2SE v 1.4.2 (or the Blackdown JDK 1.4.1 
compiled with GCC 3.2.) The Sun Java Plugin is compatible with modern 
Linux versions like Red Hat 8 or later and SuSE 8.1 or later (the plugin 
depends on a newer version of libgcc_s.so, installing the GCC 
supplements for Red Hat 7.3 -GCC 3.1


I also recall that in /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ there
are some different directories: ns4/  ns610/  ns610-gcc32/
each of which contains a
libjavaplugin_oji.so

On Moz 1.4, I'm using the ns610-gcc32 version.
