I get the same result.  I think you're seeing the effects of PR 1412, now
that libgcj is compiled with -O2.  The workaround is to compile without
-O2 or with -fno-defer-pop.

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&pr=1412&database=gcc

I reported once that this failure doesn't occur on mainline with -O2.  I
don't know if that's still the case.

Who do you suppose could figure this out?  It's a very old bug (reported
earlier by Bryce as well), and very annoying.  Releasing 3.0 this way
really isn't an option.
