 System.out is currently broken for Win32.  There is a fairly old patch if you
 are interested in the details... though it might not help if you are building
 libgcj today:

 That's what I expected.  You can work around it by assigning System.out
 explicitly before you use it:
 
 try {
   System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("CONOUT$")));
 } catch (Throwable t) {}
 System.out.println("Hello!");
