Indeed, it is fixed even in GCC 4.0.x. Now, is there any customer request or something that would justify changing GCC 3.4.x Java? We include GCC 4.0.x Java starting with RHEL4 U2, so if somebody really needs this, he can use that. But there are many known Java deficiencies in GCC 3.4.x Java I guess...
gcc4-4.0.2-9.EL4 built in dist-4E-qu-candidate.
