>Release:        2.95.2 - updated from CVS on 3/30/00
>Organization:
>Environment:
RH Linux 6.0, i686, gcc -v 2.95.2
>Description:
The same problem reported in PR#155 is happening on my machine.  Apologies
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Download gcc 2.95.2 (core + c++ and java files)
2. ./configure --prefix=/home/phil, to avoid overwriting the installed compiler
2. make -- Compile gcc using default compiler on RH 6.0 (egcs-1.1.2, which reports egcs-2.91.66 on gcc -v)
3. make install (puts gcc in /home/phil/bin, other support files relative to that as appropriate)
4. change $PATH to put /home/phil/bin ahead of /usr/bin, to ensure that invoking gcc will invoke gcc 2.95.2, not the egcs-1.1.2 in /usr/bin
5. checkout libgcj (latest as of 3/30/00)
6. libgcj/configure --prefix=/home/phil (again to install in user directory)
7. make -- after a *lot* of work, reports same error as PR#155 in isNegative() method of BigInteger.java
