Java FUNCTION_DECL's have two bodies

[Conway, Christopher L (Christopher)** CTR **]

I'm working with a tool that uses the Tree-SSA output from gcj (version 3.5.0 20040607) and I'm surprised to see that Java FUNCTION_DECL's have two "body" attributes. One uses BLOCK and COMPOUND_EXPR treecodes for its infrastructure and the other uses BIND_EXPR and STATEMENT_LIST. I wonder if this is a bug, if it's possible to suppress one of these bodies from being produced, and if this will go away in a future version?

Here is a snippet of the relevant code (from a .tu dump, the full file is attached):
% gcj -fsyntax-only -fdump-translation-unit test_null6.java

test_null6.java.t01.tu:
@174    function_decl    srcp: "test_null6.java:8     "name: @36

                         body: @241     inline body: @242    
@241    block            var : @320     var : @321     body: @322    
@242    bind_expr        type: @30      body: @323

                         op 0: @551     op 1: @319    
@547    call_expr        srcp: "test_null6.java:8     "type: @30

@689    modify_expr      srcp: "test_null6.java:8     "type: @229    
                         op 0: @764     op 1: @321
