As far as I am aware, gjdoc should build fine with all gcj 4.x releases, 
as opposed to some of the 4.0.0 pre-release experimental versions. IIRC 
the Segment constructor you're missing has been added before the 4.0 
release.

I guess you're using an older version by accident? You should check that 
you are in fact using 4.0.1 by doing gcj --version.

Note that gcj does not complain about the Segment class missing, but 
about a missing constructor. So the fact that you find "Segment stuff" 
in your gcj lib doesn't mean anything. The gcj build you've been using 
seems to come with an old version of Segment which lacks this 
constructor. You can use the javap tool to check this.

At any rate, if your problem persists you're probably better off posting 
to the appropriate Gentoo list since this appears to be an issue with 
your distribution.

Good luck,

Julian
