Or, you can try using gcc-2.95.2 with the latest libgcj *and* the patches
from Bryce at:

This is what I'm experimenting with at the moment but I am running into some
bugs which appear to be race conditions in the threads implementation (although
it might be my application code, I'm not sure yet).
Now, does anyone else think that we should do something about making these
