I just tested the official gcc-3.2.tar.gz release from ftp.gnu.org and
it works for me.

=== libjava Summary ===

# of expected passes		2075
# of expected failures		18
# of untested testcases		14

See: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-08/msg00489.html

This was on a i686-pc-linux-gnu machine running:

Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
Linux 2.4.18
binutils Version: 2.12.90.0.15-1
glibc Version: 2.2.5-13

With the following configure flags:
--enable-clocale=gnu --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-languages=c++,java --prefix=/usr/local/gcc32

I know that at least for the CVS HEAD (3.3) you will need the above
binutils on powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu and maybe other architectures.

One thing that I always do before running 'make check -k' is a 'make
install' because in the past the tests sometimes picked up the wrong
libgcj.jar to test against. Maybe that is still needed. If you haven't
done a 'make install' yet could you do that and then run make check in
the libjava subdir? Otherwise try updating your binutils to 2.12.90.0.15
or higher and rebuild everything with that.

Thanks,

Mark
