I just built GCC 4.9.1 and gave it a try on a fresh EC2 instance.

Hello, Scala World!



The "--indirect-dispatch" option is the key here. This defers class
and method resolution to runtime, so any missing ones will be runtime
errors, not compile time errors.

Even in 4.9.1, the scala-library.jar references a few methods (e.g. in
sun.misc.Unsafe, and java.math.BigInteger) that libgcj doesn't have,
but it doesn't need them to run. At least for this simple example.
