>Description:
GCJ no longer compiles the Apache Xerces XML parser v1.2.3

The last version of gcj that compiles xerces was:

The error messages are:

>How-To-Repeat:
	Following is a example class pruned from the xerces sources. Compiling it will produce the same error messages.	

class TraverseSchema {
        public class ComplexTypeInfo {
    }
}

public final class xerces1 {

    private static final int INITIAL_CHUNK_COUNT = 10;

    public interface StringProducer {
        /**

        public String toString(int offset, int length);
        /**

        public void releaseString(int offset, int length);
        /**
