It's all in the docs.
 * When you compile your classes into a shared library they can be
 automatically loaded by the `libgcj' system classloader. When
 trying to load a class `gnu.pkg.SomeClass' the system classloader
 will first try to load the shared library
 `lib-gnu-pkg-SomeClass.so', if that fails to load the class then
 it will try to load `lib-gnu-pkg.so' and finally when the class is
 still not loaded it will try to load `lib-gnu.so'. Note that all
 `.'s will be transformed into `-'s and that searching for inner
 classes starts with their outermost outer class. If the class
 cannot be found this way the system classloader tries to use the
 `libgcj' bytecode interpreter to load the class from the standard
 classpath. This process can be controlled to some degree via the
 `gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control' property; *Note
 libgcj Runtime Properties::.
