(java-patches is just for patches, bug- and discussion- stuff is more
suited for `java@gcc.gnu.org'.)

Offhand I'm not sure what would cause this problem.  Note however
that libtool passes other flags (e.g., -fPIC) to gcj behind the
scenes, maybe that could cause the problem.  Or it could be
environment-dependent in some obscure way.

One way to debug would be to enable core dumps and then use gdb on
the core file to see where the crash occurs.

BTW, I think Michael Koch looked at these patches.  What is your
paperwork status?  For non-trivial patches we need copyright
assignments before we can put them in.  I can get you started on this
process if you don't already have papers filed.
