I've seen a report of a fix for this, but I haven't looked at it. I
hope to find the time to check it in "soon" (but not today).

Anthony checked in this fix today. It will be in gcc 2.95.1.

The test suite currently relies on finding javac.
This is lame; instead it should run against both "javac" and "gcj -C",
and skip javac if not found.
Could you submit a bug report to that effect?
I'm afraid I don't have the time to hack on it right now.
Changing javac in your copy of the test suite will probably work, but
offhand I don't recall what you should change it to. You'd have to
dig around in the test framework a bit.
