 this also seems to be a problem when importing the outerclass and
 then trying to refer to the innerclass without fully qualifying it:
 
 ---------------------
 Foo.java:
 package pkg;
 
 public class Foo {
   public static class Inner {
     public void test() {
       System.out.println("footest");
     }
   }
 }
 --------------------
 Bar.java:
 package pkg;
 
 import pkg.Foo;
 
 public class Bar extends Foo.Inner {
   public void test() {
     System.out.println("bartest");
   }
 }
 --------------------
 
 $ gcj -c pkg/*
 pkg/Bar.java:5: Superclass `Foo.Inner' of class `pkg.Bar' not found.
    public class Bar extends Foo.Inner {
                             ^
 
 adding the package name to the extends clause (pkg.Foo.Inner)
 fixes things.  javac has no problem with this.  note that this
 works fine if Foo is not in a package and is therefore already
 fully qualified.
