In some versions and circumstances, libgcj calls c++filt to demangle raw 
symbol names for the stack trace. Perhaps you don't have c++filt 
installed on your embedded system. However, recent versions of libgcj 
should already be looking up the class/method for stack trace elements 
and using class metadata, not the C++-style symbol. In the future, we'll 
be using the later technique exclusively.
