hmmm, I have no idea what changes they may have made either.

gcc 3.3.2 is the only one supported by the manufacturer Compulab and
the libraries that have been compiled for the system.  Again this is
an embedded system so I kind of want to stay with what's supported
rather than try to update things like one would on a common x86
desktop platform.

Also I think I may have given some mis-information earlier in this
thread.  I think I stated that libjava was included with my
arm-linux-gcc 3.3.2 toolchain from compulab and that it wasn't
compiled.  I just realized that it isn't and that I had obtained a
standard copy of libjava 3.3.2 seperately from the gcc site (that's
what I had been trying to compile [still unsuccessful]).  Therefore my
arm-linux-gcc 3.3.2 toolchain includes arm-linux-gcj in it's /bin
section however there is no libjava binaries or source in the package.
 So somehow I still need to find and obtain a copy of
libjava/java.lang compatible with Compulab's arm-linux, assuming such
a package actually exists.  Is libjava/java.lang typically platform
specific?  My guess is that the same libjava/java.lang files would be
compatible regardless of whether you're using gcj or arm-linux-gcj? 
In that case the standard libjava from gcc-3.3.2 would suffice if only
I could get it to configure and compile.
