 In my build, "__vt_Q34java4lang5Class" is defined only in Class.o and
 not natClass.o.
 
 Are you using the C++ compiler that you built when you built the Java
 compiler?  If so, can you find out why it is putting the vtable into
 natClass.o?  It shouldn't.
 
 FWIW, I haven't heard of this problem from anybody else.
 
 What version of "make" are you using?
 
 There is a remote possibility, I think, that your "Class.h" and
 "Object.h" files were built by gcjh (most headers we use are generated
 from the .class files, but these two should *not* be).  You can see if
 this is the case by looking for them in the build tree (they should
 not be there).  If the first line of either file says something about
 being machine generated, then this is the problem.
