 Hi,
 
 I have not see this on my system, with latest cvs gcc and libgcj. I'm using Redhat 6.2. What version of glibc
 does your distribution use?
 
 Could you send me the output of the following commands on your system:
 
 gcc -v
 gcj -v
 ldd ./HelloWorld
 nm /usr/local/gcc/lib/libzgcj.so.0 | grep dso
 
 And also the "configure" commands which you used to build both gcc and libgcj.
 
 thanks

 Right. On my system it is upper case:
 
 $ nm /usr/local/gcc/lib/libgcj.so.1 | grep dso
 001672a0 D __dso_handle
 
 I don't know why its different on your system. Perhaps an obscure compiler in
 the particular snapshot your using? Or a linker/assember bug/incompatibilty?
 There was a change to this recently:
 
 2000-04-04  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>
 
         * acconfig.h: Add HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN.
         * config.in: Regenerated.
         * configure.in: Add test for .hidden pseudo-op in gas.
         * configure: Regenerated.
         * crtstuff.c: Include auto-host.h.
         Emit additional .hidden pseudo-op for __dso_handle if the
         assembler knows about it.
 
 I'm using binutils binutils-2.9.5.0.22-6, FWIW.

State-Changed-Why:
    I believe this must be a compiler or other toolchain
    problem outside our control.  Could you submit a gcc
    bug report?  Or search the gcc mailing lists for something
    similar?  I vaguely recall seeing a bug report like this.
    I'm closing this PR since there is basically nothing
    we can do about it.
