Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/local/opt/gcc/bin/gcj -v --main=GetClassBug1 GetClassBug1.java
>Fix:
Using Byte.TYPE instead of byte.class 
(comment the buggy line and uncomment the next one)
solve the compile time problem.

However at runtime a NullPointerException occurs in println,
which should not happen. 
It does not with Sun tools.
