 You are correct, that script doesn't trigger the behavior. Here is a
 better one:
 
   mkdir dummy
   echo >dummy/ClassA.java "package dummy; class ClassA {}"
   echo >dummy/ClassB.java "package dummy; class ClassB { ClassB(ClassA t) {} }"
   gcj -C dummy/*.java
   touch dummy/*.java
 
 Now, every time you run
 
   gcj -c dummy/Class{A,B}.java
 or
   gcj -c dummy/Class{B,A}.java
 
 the following will be printed:
 
   dummy/ClassB.java:7: warning: Source file for class `dummy.ClassA' is
   newer than its matching class file. Source file used instead
 
 So actually this is a different PR... But maybe it is not a bug at all.
 It is confusing though - I was compiling from .java->.o and had some
 old .class files lying around, and I kept getting those error
 messages.
