And the fact that the internal structures generated by GCJ are almost
identical to those used by Kaffe, especially the old 0.9.x release, is a mear
coincidence?  Even the field ordering is the same, the layout of the constant
pool, the numbering of the states a class goes through while initialising.
the method structure  ... would you like me to go on ...?  I even think it's
bug compatible in places :)
