Did you ever figure this out?

I seem to recall that this can happen if you accidentally build
Class.h using gcjh.  Did this happen?  You can tell if Class.h appears
in the build (not source) tree.

I also seem to recall that there might have been a bug along these
lines introduced into egcs.  You'd have to check the egcs bug archives
to be sure.

I'd rather work it out now.  It works every day for me, and I don't
have a clue how I would reproduce your problems.
