I tried the appended program and it worked for me.
I'm using gcc3 that I updated and rebuilt today.
In particular I rebuilt libgcj from scratch.
 creche. gcj -O3 --main=foo -o F foo.java -Wl,-rpath,/x1/gcc3/install/lib
 creche. ./F

Does this fail for anybody else?
I understood that Andrew made it fail. But why doesn't it fail for
me?
I'm doing this on my x86 Red Hat Linux 6.2 box.

public class foo 
{
 public static void main (String[] args)
 {
 long a = 8000;
 long b = 0;
 long c = a/b;
 System.out.println (c); 
 }
}
