bug in ZipInputStream

That's message http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-12/msg00103.html. That's
indeed the version I installed.

I've also tried to apply the patch that he posted
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-09/msg00072.html against yesterday's
snapshot, after applying the ordinary minGW diff
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gcj-3.2-20021210-1.src.diff.gz?down
load.

I guess it could have worked on Linux, by cross-compiling. But then again,
I'm afraid it was already beyond me.

I hope mingw gcc will be able to build itself.

I've got a similar problem with ObjectInputStream; which is used by SableCc
to read its "personal" parser tables (for its grammar-grammar). The parser
tables that it produces for the parsers that it generates, however, are read
with DataInputStream; which works fine in gcj. This prevents me from
compiling a native version of SableCc. I guess I shouldn't file bug reports
until mingw becomes mainstream as a self-host.
