gcj bug: case constants

gcj throws an error compiling switch statements with "static final"
elements as constants:

ObjectInputStream.java: In class `java.io.ObjectInputStream':
ObjectInputStream.java: In method `readObject()':
ObjectInputStream.java:27: Constant expression required.
                                case TC_NULL:
                                ^

TC_NULL is declared as "public static final int".  Other constant values
work fine, but it seems there is no way to use symbolic names in a
switch...case.
