Gcj still has trouble parsing ambiguous expressions like above (it has
to decide if A is a class or package name). It will compile if you
decompose the complex expression:
         String[] array = A.strArr;
         int length = array.length;
I reproduced this bug with a recent snapshot. I still don't see it
mentioned in gnats however. Can you file a bug report?
