I'm doing this now, but the progress is slow. I guess I need to change
my setup to use gdbclient/server, because gdb on the target is really
slow with libgcj.

The last time I was stepping, a "next" over
gnu::gcj::runtime::ExtensionClassLoader::initialize(); (called from
_Jv_InitClass in libjava/prims.cc)
triggered the crash. I'll try stepping into that one now, but the last
time I did that gdb got lost once it hit *ClassLoader.java...

Thanks for your efforts, I perfectly understand that you're not going
to spend much time to debug this Debian-patched version. If after
pinpointing the crash that does not trigger any ideas from you, I'm
going to refocus on GCC 4.3.

One other thing I had been meaning to ask: is the version of binutils
or glibc (or anything else) important? I'm currently using glibc 2.6.1
and binutils 2.18.

Thanks again, regards,
