You may want to try gcj 4.0, which was released a while back.

I see this on the link line:

D:\eclipse\workspaces\bingcj\tmp\org\eclipse\jdt\internal\compiler\util\messages.o 

Perhaps this is a compiled resource file?  And due to
case-insensitivity on Windows it overwrote the object file
corresponding to the missing class?  That is my first guess anyway.
If it isn't that, we have some more debugging to do ...
