Unfortunatly GCJ has some built-in assumptions about the layout of 
Object and Class, so it can't really be used with non-libgcj versions of 
these classes at this time. Newwer releases do have a better error 
message, though. It would be nice to fix it so that it worked for other 
libraries, at least when doing compilation to bytecode.
