Actually libgcj's Collections still arn't complete yet (but they've come
a long way!). All the Abstract classes and utility classes are done and
the List implementations are finished, but some of the Set and Map
implementations arn't quite there yet... also there is a known compiler
bug that breaks some Hashtable methods.

Both of these are compiler bugs that were fixed recently. If the current
cvs compiler is broken, I suggest backdating your tree a few days to try
and get a working one. Alternatively you could try tracking down the
necessary patches in GNATs and the gcc lists, but there might be quite a
few of them needed.
