I'm getting similar(?) problems since upgrading to Redhat 6 (which is strange because I was already running glibc 2.1 and the latest binutils before the upgrade, and it was working fine). My error is:

gcj -fassume-compiled -g -ffloat-store -c  -fPIC -DPIC ../../../libjava/java/util/GregorianCalendar.java -o java/util/.libs/GregorianCalendar.lo

I'm running egcs-2.93.19 19990422, I'm gonna update to the latest snapshot and rebuild it to see if it makes any difference.
