i also have this problem with gcj on powerpc linux. in my case it was
worked around by:

1. *not* specifying the source directory with the -classpath option if
the source file is in the list of files to be compiled, and
2. using fully-qualified class names in all imports for packages to be
compiled (packages in existing jarfiles are fine).
