>Description:
The following legal java code does not compile:

public class A {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        B.C bc = (B.C) new B.C();
    }
}

class B {
    static class C {
    }
}

compiling with 'gcj --main=A A.java' gives:

A.java: In class `A':
A.java: In method `main(java.lang.String[])':
A.java:3: Class `B.C' not found in type declaration.
        B.C bc = (B.C) new B.C();
                  ^
