>>I believe "__U" is used by GCJ as a prefix to encode unicode characters 
as the assembler may only support ASCII. If the string "__U" actually 
appears in an indentifier, it is encoded as "__U_". In this case it 
looks like a bug in GCJs name mangling because its also encoding "_U" in 
this way, which shouldn't be neccessary.
In any case, the mangled name should be reflected in the header that 
gcjh generates, so theres another bug there.
