Just my gut telling me that. ;-) Probably incorrectly, though.

Please find below pre-processed source and assembly language for that
example:

-------- BytesToUnicodemain.i --------
extern const char **_Jv_Compiler_Properties;
static const char *props[] =
{
  0
};

extern int class __attribute__ ((alias ("_ZN3gnu3gcj7convert7Convert6class$E")));
int main (int argc, const char **argv)
{
   _Jv_Compiler_Properties = props;
   JvRunMain (&class, argc, argv);
}

The lines causing problems is class = _ZN3gnu3gcj7convert7Convert6class$E.

Perhaps this is just a GNU-as-ism?
