Actually, all of the compiling was done using a single gcj statement with
*no* intermediate files.  IE, something like

  gcj -o output BIG.class LONG.class LIST.class OF.class FILES.class \
       --main=BIG

Since the list of files is soo long, 820 files, I wondered if I was
overflowing an internal buffer somewhere...
