I have seen the bug occur on a cygwin machine to which I don't have access
anymore. I thought it was related to the file system being case-insensitive so
jikes was used to do the source to byte code compilation.

Chris is now seeing it on his powerpc machine.
The workaround at least makes it possible to keep working on GNU Classpath. We
have a policy that GNU Classpath (releases) need to be able to be build with the
latest GCC release (and possibly older versions or CVS).

There isn't a backtrace since it just gives this error messages:

../../classpath/java/security/cert/X509Certificate.java:143: error: Class
`java.security.cert.X509Certificate' can't subclass interface
`java.security.Certificate'.
   public abstract class X509Certificate extends Certificate implements
X509Extension
                                                 ^
../../classpath/java/security/cert/X509Certificate.java:0: confused by earlier
errors, bailing out

Is there a trick to get you the backtrace you need to further analyze why this
is happening?
