As far as I'm concerned it is up to the two of you to decide what
version or versions of MinGW are supported. I haven't replied to your
patch on java-patches simply because I don't know what to do with it
-- do we want to require the 2.x packages, do we want to try to
support both somehow, ...? You tell me.

If you mark these methods as `inline' does it help?
You'll have to modify gcjh to do this and then rebuild libgcj from
scratch. Or if you can make a simple failing test case you can try it
there...
That's just a workaround, though. A solution would be to dig in to
g++ and figure out what is going on. Maybe we aren't allowed to have
two definitions like this, even if one is "inline only".
