Trouble with JAR resources

Good day,

I have compiled SWT/JFACE jars to object files without any issues, but I
have a little trouble linking them with my app.

It seems I have compiled some resources from the jars into the objects,
and they conflict, since they are present in multiple jars.

The jars in question are:

  org.eclipse.core.commands_3.4.0.I20080509-2000.jar
  org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.4.0.v20080421-2006.jar
  org.eclipse.jface_3.4.1.M20080827-2000.jar
  org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar
  org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.4.1.v3449c.jar

from Eclipse Classic 3.4.1.

I issue the command:

  $ gcj --main=Foo org.eclipse.core.commands_3.4.0.I20080509-2000.o org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.4.0.v20080421-2006.o org.eclipse.jface_3.4.1.M20080827-2000.o org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.o org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.4.1.v3449c.o Foo.o -o foo

and get multiple link errors like these:

  org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.4.0.v20080421-2006.o:(.rodata+0x0): multiple definition of `java resource META__U2d_INF/ECLIPSE.SF'
  /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `java resource META__U2d_INF/ECLIPSE.SF' changed from 9564 in org.eclipse.core.commands_3.4.0.I20080509-2000.o to 6528 in org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.4.0.v20080421-2006.o

Can I avoid adding these resources when compiling the jars?  Or maybe
strip them from the object files?
