-shared -bundle produced
bash-2.05a$ gcj -shared -bundle -o helloworld.so Test.java
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
___eprintf
_environ
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
but...
bash-2.05a$ gcj -shared -bundle -undefined suppress -flat_namespace -o 
helloworld.so Test.java
built fine. (for anyone else trying this)
Is -undefined suppress causing the eprintf and environ symbols to be 
ignored, and if so, what is lost because of this? Is there any info as to 
why these symbols are included in the object file, and as to why they're 
not linkable in OSX?
Many thanks for your help, off to play with my new .so
