Description Andrew Cagney 2005-12-12 21:53:22 UTC 
(this is preliminary information, real test case to follow :-)

Rick's finding with gcj4 (GCC) 4.0.2 20051130 (Red Hat 4.0.2-12.EL4) while
building jdom:

 cd ../../jdom-1.0
+ /usr/bin/gcj4 -C -Ipackage -Isrc/java -O -g -d
/home/rmoseley/frysk-devel/frysk/RHEL-4/frysk-0.0.0.20051211.1/build/jdom-1.0
@jdom.files
./src/java/org/jdom/ContentList.java: In class
'org.jdom.ContentList$FilterListIterator':
./src/java/org/jdom/ContentList.java: In method
'org.jdom.ContentList$FilterListIterator.hasNext()':
./src/java/org/jdom/ContentList.java:755: error: Constant expression required.
	case CREATE: cursor = initialCursor;
	
CREATE is declared private static final int CREATE = 1

I've also seen the same problem (same code) on FC-5's 4.1 compiler.
This was compiling with the U2 compiler.

There is a possible workaround - edit the code so that the methods are not private.

class C
{
    private static final int CONST  = 0;
    class I {
        public void f () {
            switch(0) {
            case CONST:
            }
        }
    }
}

After a small change to one file I was able to completely build the frysk
package using the 4.0.2-12 compiler.
