(I hope this is not old)
Compiling the code below prints this error:

$ gcj -C LinkedList.java 
LinkedList.java: In class `LinkedList$Iter':
LinkedList.java: In method `LinkedList$Iter()':
LinkedList.java:11: Undefined variable or class name: `this$0'.
}
^
1 error
$

It should probably print something like this:

"Can't make a static reference to nonstatic variable `modCount' in class `LinkedList'."

>How-To-Repeat:
public class LinkedList {
	public int modCount = 0;
	static class Iter {
		Iter() {
			int dumb = modCount;
		}
	}
	public void foo() {
		new Iter();
	}
}
