gcj-mingw32: it compiles, it runs, it segfaults

[Adam Megacz]

Well, I've gotten a lot done today... I've gotten the mingw32 support
back in a state where the compiler builds and generates
soundly-linking static binaries. Sadly, they crash all over the place.

$ gdb --nw hello.exe

I don't know enough about the innards of gcj or the code it generates
to make much sense of this... can anybody help me out here? My best
guess is that something's up with jvgenmain... I noticed that after
doing a "make install", no jvgenmain binary wound up in my install
area. Does gcj have an internal copy of jvgenmain?

I'm also running with no-threads... perhaps that has something to do
with it?


I tried creating my own main with jvgenmain, but I get this when
linking it:

  /tmp/ccs1iKap.o: In function `main':
  /home/megacz/hello-main.cc(.text+0x3e): undefined reference to `_JvRunMain(java::lang::Class*, int, char const**)'

Despite the fact that

  megacz@curry$/usr/local/cross-gcc/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-nm --extern-only /usr/local/cross-gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgcj.a | grep JvRunMain
  000015f0 T _JvRunMain

Urgh...
