Ok, please ignore me. The changes in this area are to big to be 
incorporated into 4.0.2. (Means backporting from 4.1)
So we have to live with the fact that one has to use a cairo version 
around 0.4.0 if he wants to build gcc with --enable-gtk-cairo. For 
higher cairo versions we recommend gcc-cvs head.
Cairo has had a major revamp in the last months and the API has changed 
completely. This is the reason for the build failure if you use a recent 
cairo library.

Side note, almost all libjava development work is concentrated in GNU 
classpath and the 4.0.x branch does not include classpath. This might be 
the reason why this slipped through, sorry.
