>Description:
gcj reports "Can't find default package `xxx'" when a package with no class files is imported. (I don't know what the point is in important a class-less package, but javac in Sun JDK 1.4 and jikes don't report this error.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Run

mkdir -p foo/bar
cat >foo/bar/Test.java <<_END_
package foo.bar;
import foo.*;
public class Test { }
_END_
gcj -C foo/bar/Test.java

The output is:

foo/bar/Test.java:2: Can't find default package `foo'. Check the CLASSPATH environment variable and the access to the archives.
