It's actually looking for the Java files themselves. Make sure the
compiler knows where to look for source files. For example, I could
reproduce an error similar to the one you saw by doing:

  apbianco@venonat[~/tmp/O]: cat ../B.java 
  class B {A foo(){return null;}}
  apbianco@venonat[~/tmp/O]: cat ../A.java 
  class A {}
  apbianco@venonat[~/tmp/O]: gcj -c ../A.java 
  apbianco@venonat[~/tmp/O]: gcj -c ../B.java 
  ../B.java:1: Type `A' not found in the declaration of the return type of method `foo'.
     class B {A foo(){return null;}}
              ^
  1 error
  apbianco@venonat[~/tmp/O]: CLASSPATH="/home/apbianco/tmp" gcj -c ../B.java 

As you can see, setting CLASSPATH properly fixes my problem.
