Okay, so I gave gcc-cvs one more crack, and it seems to have
compiled. Only thing I changed was tacking this onto the configure
command:

   --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++,java

As per the gcj compiling faq. I had been using "--with-threads=posix"
before -- not sure if that is an invalid configure option, though...

The wierd this-ptr-off-by-one error seems to have receded as well, so
it was either a symptom of a mis-install of gcj (my fault) or else a
bug that's already been fixed.

Sorry for the disturbance =)
