This belief forms the basis for PR java/9695. In a perverse way it would be good news if 3.2 couldn't do the job. That could mean we don't have a gcj regression, hence one less required bug to fix before release. (A somewhat silly approach to bugs, but gcj time is limited these days.) In the past people have checked in workarounds in Classpath to avoid gcj bugs. At the time I think I thought this was a bad idea. Nowadays, well, there's a precedent... :-) Seriously, we could try to work around the problem. Or we could just report gcj bugs and compile Classpath with a different free compiler (jikes, or the Eclipse compiler, or kopi, or ... are there others?). I'm not too bothered if the workarounds don't go in; for libgcj we'll maintain a temporary divergence if need be. How does gcj 3.2 fail on CVS Classpath? Maybe that can help guide us.
