It seems to be getting confused because of the classpath.  This error goes
away if you do this:

mizar:[/tmp/tau-2.12.8/tools/src] gcj -C jRacy/*.java 

instead (note the cwd).  Of course, this is doomed to fail anyway because
libgcj has no java.awt.*:

jRacy/TotalStatWindowPanel.java:14: error: Class or interface `java.awt.font.TextAttribute' not found in import.
   import java.awt.font.TextAttribute;
          ^
