>Description:
I'm having the same problem that was reported in 1178.
helloworld yields
'Testy: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/local/gcc/lib/libzgcj.so.0: undefined symbol: __dso_handle'

nm libzgcj.so.0 ... yields '0000c820 d __dso_handle' ie 
lowercase d rather than uppercase D.

I downloaded the full gcc CVS tree today, made a new 
version of gcc, completely removed my existing gcc, removed 
gcj and the java libs, and then rebuild gcj and libs using
the new version of gcc.  So as far
as I can tell, I'm not using anything from an old
version of the gcc.  

FYI my binutils is 2.9.5.0.24, which should be recent
enough
