This is actually not legal because you cannot import a class from the 
default package. Some versions of javac did accept this code, but JDK 
1.4's will not. GCJ needs to report an error like "A is not a package".

In the case where A is in package "pkg" and you do an "import pkg.A.X", 
it is legal. However with GCJ I get a different error:

$ gcj -C pkg/*.java
./pkg/A.java:3: Class `pkg.A' already defined in pkg/A.java:3.
   class A
         ^
./pkg/A.java:5: tree check: expected class 'd', have 'x' (error_mark) in 
make_nested_class_name, at java/parse.y:3512
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.


Hmm...
