gcj gets an error trying to call methods inherited from 
java.lang.Object on an inner class:

$ gcj -c PR238.java 
PR238.java: In class `PR238':
PR238.java: In method `foo(PR238$A)':
PR238.java:5: Can't find method `toString()' in type `PR238$A'. Candidates are:
  `toString()' in `java.lang.Object'
  `toString()' in `java.lang.Object'.
    a.toString();
     ^

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile this test case:

public class PR238
{
  void foo(A a)
  {
    a.toString();
  }

  class A {}
}
