 Yes.

 I figured that.  I really should find out whether this is a new problem.

 Sometimes I don't (and couldn't until you fixed this PR).  Two reasons
 mainly:
 
 - I don't always have source
 
 - Compiling jars is incredibly convenient, I can do things like
 
 gcj -shared -O2 -fPIC -fjni /opt/oracle/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip \
 -o liborajdbc.so
 
 I haven't yet reworked our entire build process for gcj.  Someday maybe
 I'll autoconfiscate.
