I think gcj should not require the static keyword for
inner classes in interfaces.

$ cat demo.java 
interface Interface {
    public class Inner {}
}
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Interface.Inner();
    }
}
$ gcj -C demo.java
demo.java: In class `Main':
demo.java: In method `main(java.lang.String[])':
demo.java:7: No enclosing instance for inner class `Interface$Inner' is in scope.
                new Interface.Inner();
                       ^
1 error

 If you ask me, the patch fixed the problem. I have tested it with
 the original code that triggered the bug, and I don't get the error
 anymore (although I get plenty other).
