I believe this error is caused by this patch:

2000-11-16  Zack Weinberg  <zack@wolery.stanford.edu>

        * jcf-parse.c (get_constant), parse.y (do_merge_string_cste):
        Create string in scratch buffer, then pass to build_string.

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/java/jcf-parse.c.diff?r1=1.63&r2=1.64

Reversing it fixed this problem for me, but now I get:

gcj -B/home/bryce/cvs/libgcj/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libjava/ -C -g -classpath /home/bryce/cvs/libgcj/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libjava:/home/bryce/cvs/libgcj/libjava -d
/home/bryce/cvs/libgcj/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libjava java/io/ObjectInputStream.java
java/io/ObjectInputStream.java:1: Missing return statement.
   /* ObjectInputStream.java -- Class used to read serialized objects
    ^
1 error

This is on a 6.2 box with the latest gcj. Looks like I can't win tonight!
