Bootstrapping the current CVS gcc version fails with:

make[2]: *** [libgcj.jar] Error 1

I configured with:
/cvs/gcc/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-2.97.test --enable-shared \
         --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --disable-nls 

and then run make bootstrap.

 This is a known (and extremely annoying) bug. Right now, bootstrapping simply does not produce a working jc1. The workaround is to build gcc/gcj with an older compiler, like egcs 1.1.2, gcc 2.95, or RH's gcc 2.96.
