They stopped complaining about missing classes, for sure.
The jdbc driver in question is the linux jdbc drivers for MS SQL 2000.
Compile it with gcc3.3
produces lots of compile errors like these :
error: cannot find file for class sun.io.CharToByteConverter
error: cannot find file for class sun.io.ByteToCharConverter
... and more ...
Compiling it with gcc3.4 at least doesn't produce compile errors.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I drew the conclusion that the presence/absence of
nio was responsible for this?
I stepped back to 3.3 because of things not working properly in the
network bits. I never got around to a full functionality test. But the
problem of the original poster was a compile error, see? 
So you are probably right about the bugginess, no argument.
