Thanks.

Looking at the .class files, I see that `javac' emits an abstract
method `f' for B, while `gcj -C' does not.  So if gcj -C were changed
to emit this method, it would work fine.  However, I don't know if
that is required.  Maybe the bug is in the .class part of the front
end -- maybe that code is required to search implemented interfaces
for methods.  I don't know.
