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 am perfectly willing to put a FIXME statement that when gcc > finally gets around to fixing this problem, the code can be dropped. 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.)
