You may extend the RPM spec file with an optional header like the
following:
Name: jonas-examples
... yadda yadda yadda ...
CanBeMassivelySpedUpBy: jonas-examples-compiled-by-gcj
With this in place, yum can now fetch jonas-examples-compiled-by-gcj
if is available.
This requires changes to both rpm and yum. I have no idea how
feasible this would be, but I don't remember this option having been
discussed yet.
