This error is due to the limitations of static linking. libgcj's regexp 
code requires the gnu/regexp/MessageBundle resource. Usually this is 
compiled in to libgcj.so, but when static linking there is no way for 
the compiler to know about this dynamically loaded resource. You'll need 
to either explicitly tell GCJ to link this file into your .exe, or use 
dynamic linking. I'm not sure if dynamic libgcj is possible yet on Windows.

My guess is that your libgcj probably does have debugging information, 
but libgcj can not yet use it when printing stack traces.
