Gcj segfault on RH7.3

[Mark Anderson <mark at panonet dot net>]

Hi list,

I have built the gcj cvs on a standard RH7.3 install but running a simple hello world program causes a segfault. 
Here is the output of gcc -v. Also, a backtrace from gdb is attached to the end of the mail.

gcj -v
Reading specs from /opt/gcc3.4/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/specs
Reading specs from /opt/gcc3.4/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/../../../libgcj.spec
rename spec lib to liborig
Configured with: '../gcc/configure' '--enable-threads=posix '--prefix=/opt/gcc3.4 '--enable-shared '--enable-languages=c++,java
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4 20030822 (experimental)

Have I built with the wrong configure options? I simply followed the instructions from the 'How to build GCJ from cvs' webpage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
