Linux Iserver 2.2.19 #4 Sun Jun 10 10:14:49 CEST 2001 i686
latest versions of main libraries such as glibc 2.2.4
>Description:
I often install the latest version of the cvs snapshot. Since a few (I think months) libjava fails to build.

....
gcj -B/root/gcc/libjava/ --encoding=UTF-8 -C -g -classpath /root/gcc/libjava:. -d /root/gcc/libjava java/text/AttributedString.java
/root/gcc/libjava/java/text/AttributedString.java:45: Class `java.text.AttributedString' already defined in java/text/AttributedString.java:45.
   public class AttributedString
                ^
/root/gcc/libjava/java/text/AttributedString.java:59: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
make: *** [libgcj.jar] Error 1
......

I tried to fix, but my limited java knowledge caused this to fail. I think the error is not in AttrbutedString.java, but in the compiler itself. (When I first got this error I think the source of AttributedString was not changed!)
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile latest gcc snapshot.
>Fix:
Don't compile libjava!?
