classpath 0.10 and GCJ Version 3.3.3 20040215

[Steven Augart]

I just accidentally tried to build Classpath 0.10 using GCJ (I was
using an AIX machine, and I'd left Jikes out of my path).  The GCJ
version is:

        gcj (GCC) 3.3.3 20040215 (release)

This gave the error:

     /usr/gnu/bin/gcj --bootclasspath '' --classpath 
../../classpath-0.10:../../classpath-0.10/external/jaxp/source:../vm/current:.: 
-C -d . @classes
../../classpath-0.10/java/security/cert/X509Certificate.java:143: error: Class 
`java.security.cert.X509Certificate' can't subclass interface 
`java.security.Certificate'.
   public abstract class X509Certificate extends Certificate implements 
X509Extension

The "configure" script currently tests whether GCJ, if used, has at
least version 3.3.  This doesn't seem to be adequate to get around
the error.

Does anybody know what version of gcj we need to avoid this
complaint?  We should update the configure script appropriately.

Thanks,
