Archived discussion is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2005-07/msg00071.html Which also points to the following (open) bug: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22813 And I found this mauve suggestion from Robin Green (CCed): http://sourceware.org/ml/mauve-patches/2004/msg00118.html (Which embarrassingly enough never got checked in.
