Are you working on this? Did you try 3.3? There have been a lot of
changes in this area.
I will try figuring it out.
You're right about the 3.3 improvements - one of the things
I've noted while investigating this, for example, is that
the gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader class in 3.2 is not safe
w.r.t. Win32 (use of "/" and not "file.separator") -
this has already been corrected in 3.3. Another thing is
that I guess it should recognise both ".JAR" and ".ZIP"
(in addition to ".jar" and ".zip") as valid archive
suffixes for case-insensitive filesystems like Win32 FAT/NTFS.
BTW, I forgot to add (sorry) that gcj -shared foo.jar doesn't
work as expected on Win32.

Ranjit> [ changes ]
I read through this list and my impression is that all these changes
are either in cvs or are pending. Is that accurate?
Yes, except for small modifications to the configure
scripts to allow proper crossed-native builds, everything
else has either been accepted or is pending approval (except
for the Winsock 2 changes).
Sincerely Yours,
Ranjit.
