[Bug java/17691] New: error on valid java code from freenet

["ruben at ugr dot es" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

>cat a.java

class A {
int x (){
return 0;
}
}
class B extends A {
int y(){
B.super.x();
return 0;
}
}

>javac a.java
#no error

>gcj a.java
a.java:8: error: '(' expected.
   B.super.x();
          ^
1 error

I know it is not good to use another compiler to check for validity of code.
Nevertheless, I looked this up and it is valid code according to Sun.
I can't find the reference now.
The super in this example is redundant, but it wouldn't be if B had an x() method.

The errors are the same in either case.

This is needed to compile freenet/crypt/ThrottledAsyncEntropyYarrow.java

Please check
