Thanks for letting us know. Not only to take your pain away, but also to
prevent others from getting pain in the first place.

Are you using the classpath-0.03 tarbal? Any other configure flags
given? It works for me:
$ wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.03.tar.gz
$ tar zxf classpath-0.03.tar.gz
$ cd classpath-0.03
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/cinstall --enable-jni
$ make
$ make install

Now the files that are normally put into /usr/local/classpath are in
/tmp/cinstall. Could you send a log of your configure, make and make
install output?

With or without the --prefix?
It seems to work with and without for me. The classes are put in
directories under <prefix>/share/classpath/.

What error messages do you get? I have successfully compiled orp 1.0.9
with gcc 3.0.x and orp 1.0.8 with gcc 3.1. The needed patches should be
in the resources directory in classpath.
