I have experienced problems with many input files as well, concerning
the mingw port. In the linux port there seems to be no limit to the
number of input classes, or at least I haven't bumped into it yet.
Windows is a completely different matter it seems. I solve it by
compiling in bites to .o object files, and then linking it all.

gcj  -c [bunch of java files] -o object1.o
gcj  -c [more java files] -o object2.o

gcj object1.o object2.o -static --main=Main -o a.exe


I'm not aware of any specific limitation to the number of files, but i
suspect it has something to do with the shell/command prompt used?
