The problem here is that the linker doesn't know that a MessagesBundle
is required.  The core cause of all this is that dynamic linking still
doesn't work for gcj on Linux.

You need to link explicitly on the command line with the MessagesBundle
files.  Look for something like

   gnu/java/util/regex/MessagesBundle.properties.o

in the libcgj build dir.
