I am trying to compile many jars into one native executable with the following
command:

/usr/local/gcc/gcc-4.3.1-java/bin/gcj -combine -R
/usr/local/gcc/gcc-4.3.1-java/lib --main=com.xxx.MyClass \
  /usr/local/share/java/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar \
  /usr/local/share/java/avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar \
  <skipped other jars>

I am getting this error:
org/apache/commons/logging/impl/AvalonLogger.java: In class
'org.apache.commons.logging.impl.AvalonLogger':
org/apache/commons/logging/impl/AvalonLogger.java: In constructor
'(java.lang.String)':
org/apache/commons/logging/impl/AvalonLogger.java:79: error: cannot find file
for class org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger

If I swap the two first jars I get this error:
org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/AbstractLoggable.java: In class
'org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.AbstractLoggable':
org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/AbstractLoggable.java: In method
'org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.AbstractLoggable.setupLogger(java.lang.Object,java.lang.String)':
org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/AbstractLoggable.java:80: error: cannot find
file for class org.apache.log.Logger

So either org/apache/avalon/framework can't find org.apache.log or the way
around.

Even before getting this error I noticed that depending jars should be
specified after dependent ones.

I believe this is wrong: jars actually can inter-depend on each other and
should all be treated equally independent of their order in command line.
