>Environment:
Linux reason 2.2.5 #10 Mon May 10 13:52:11 NZST 1999 i686 unknown
>Description:
libgcj does not compile with the current gcc from cvs. This 
seems to be because gcc currently cannot compile ANY java 
interfaces. This problem has been around since at least 
19990810, possibly earlier.
>How-To-Repeat:
public interface Bob {}

>Fix:
Something has been fixed in g++.  Who knows what.
It just works now.  Let me know and I close this PR out.
