 I looked at this today.
 
 First, gcj should probably generate a declaration for each such method
 in the abstract class' .class file.  I think there may be another PR
 on this topic.
 
 Second, we definitely have to search for the method in this case.  I'm
 testing a fix; in resolve.cc we now search superinterfaces of abstract
 classes.
