thanks for the report.  Confirmed.  I am just as clueless about whether
this is a bug in gcj/GCC or in the Libtool testsuite, or possibly even
in Debian's gcj only or binutils.

If I could downgrade gcj-4.1 easily, I'd compare 'nm --demangle' output
of the .libs/liba?.a and .libs/A?.o files.  Guess it's time to find out
why my aptitude wants to change about 1GB worth of installed files ...

Cheers,
