Loading last version of Cygwin on W98
Loading all http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~jb7216/libgcj/

standard@OEMCOMPUTER ~
$ cat Hello.java
public class Hello{
        public static void main(String[] args){
                System.out.println("Hello \n");
        }
}

standard@OEMCOMPUTER ~
$ gcj --main=Hello  -o Hello Hello.java

standard@OEMCOMPUTER ~
$ ./hello
// Nothing is printed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact the program runs ONLY ONCE after booting PC and running cygwin, with or without others commands before :

Boot PC
Run cygwin
./hello
hello
./hello
// Nothing is printed
./hello
// Nothing always

Boot PC
Run cygwin
ls
Hello.exe    Hello.java~  bonjour.c~   cygwin1.dll
Hello.java   bonjour.c    bonjour.exe  strace.txt
./hello
hello
./hello
// Nothing always
.
I have the same result with another PC (a laptop).

 System.out is currently broken for Win32.  There is a fairly old patch if you
 are interested in the details... though it might not help if you are building
 libgcj today:

 That's what I expected.  You can work around it by assigning System.out
 explicitly before you use it:
 
 try {
   System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("CONOUT$")));
 } catch (Throwable t) {}
 System.out.println("Hello!");

 Jeff,
 
 Was there a reason why this patch never went in? Or was it just forgotten?

 Unfortunately you're a bit on your own with this problem.
 None of the main developers is currently using cygwin.
 So in the short term you'd really have to debug this yourself.
 
 We'd like to fix it, but it might be a long time before we get to it.
