Sorry, if this is a known bug.

Assume you have a class A:
 
public class A {
  public void m() {
  }
}
 
and a class B with a static class C
which extends A:
              
    public class B {
 
  public void m() {
  }
 
  public B() {
    C c = new C();
    c.m();
  }
 
  static public class C extends A {
  }
 
}           

 
$ gcj A.java B.java
 
gives:
 
B.java: In class `B':
B.java: In method `()':
B.java:8: Can't find method `m()' in type `'. Candidates are:
  `B.m()' in `B'
  `A.m()' in `A'.
      c.m();
       ^
