GCJ and GNU Classpath don't yet support all of the same security

At this time it is only a partial merge, unfortunately. Many of the
algorithms are still missing. I would like to see the merge completed so
that GCJ/Classpath's algorithm support is comparable to the J2SE - I'm
not sure whats holding this up.
I don't know why it worked for you using gij, however. For me, your
example fails with the NoSuchAlgorithmException both with gij and with a
native binary.
Oh, after your comments I started gij with --verbose and found out that
the Fedora Core 4 installation I tested on has GNU Crypto installed
in /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed/gnu-crypto-2.0.1.jar. That explains it.
I didn't look for that because I expected the gij-behaviour to be the
normal behaviour and not the other way around.
Interesting. I'm not sure why it would find this bytecode installation
of GNU Crypto when running with gij but not when as a native binary.
Perhaps there is a bug here.
