Thanks.  Could that information get into at least the GCJ README?
Ideally somewhere on the GCJ website too, like the download page.

Is there a libgcj that works with gcc 2.95.2, or is the only
option for a "stable" GCC release to go back to 2.95.1 ?

Platform is x86 Linux, so that class of issues should be minimal.
Goals include bugfixes to libgcj, so I don't think I can use less
than a recent snapshot.

The reason I went to the snapshots is that I had the same problem
using the CVS GCC (and libgcj).  Perhaps that was due to everything
being in a transitional state last time I tried this.

Is the Nov 10 GCC snapshot basically OK with current libgcj?
