Actually, there was a bug in there, but the bug has already been
fixed, and libgcj still fails to compile. It fails because g++ no
longer assumes (...) and (void) are compatible argument lists, except
for extern "C" functions or something like that, but libgcj expects an
automatic conversion in this case. So it seems that Alexandre
Petit-Bianco's patch was indeed fixing a problem in libgcj, that was
unrelated with the bug in the implementation of that change.
