There are several reasons not to do this but the showstopper is that if someone does 'yum install jonas-examples' on an empty system they will not get the native code.
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-gcjWith this in place, yum can now fetch jonas-examples-compiled-by-gcj if is available.
Or maybe some way to have one package state that it "masks" another package?
Name: jonas-examples-compiled-by-gcj
# Anyone tries to install 'jonas-examples', they get this # package instead. Masks: jonas-examples
# we need the real jonas-examples, because we are *adding* # to it (binaries), without this line, this package would # just *replace* the masked one. Requires: jonas-examples
%install install our additional binary stuff here
