Beats me.  I don't quite understand how gcj and its corporate
sponsor(s?) allocate their efforts, to be honest; if I were working on
gcj, I would have pushed hard for that bug to be fixed.  I just wish
we weren't in a situation where gdb is requested to go out of its way
to support a broken compiler without a show of effort from people
working on the compiler side. :-(

I can imagine a compromise like this might be the best idea.  But I'd
be a lot happier with it if we knew when the problem would get fixed.
(E.g. 3.4.0 will have it, 3.5.0 won't.)
