"-fkeep-inline-functions" should be a viable workaround.

I'll argue this should be the default for gcj, due to reflection.  In fact
the behavior of the program below changes when compiled with/without
-fkeep-inline-functions:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class Junk {
  private void junk() {
    System.out.println("junk");
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Junk junk = new Junk();
      Method[] meths = junk.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
      for (int n = 0; n < meths.length; n++)
        System.out.println(meths[n]);
    } catch (Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
