The section you quoted was refering to 4.x exclusively. I have no
knowledge, nor make any claim of working or non-working, for the gcj
shipped as part of gcc-3.4.4 on cygwin.

So, this is a bug report for gcj-3.4.4 on cygwin? If so, I'd suggest
just waiting until the new maintainer releases his own version of 3.4.x.
(It probably won't contain any new fixes, but that'll give the new
maintainer a fighting chance). Anyway, after that version is released,
try it again, and then raise a bug report. And, as always....

PTC, I'm sure.
