Bug#197375: gcj dies when parsing java code with high ASCII values in it

[Peter Hawkins <peter@hawkins.emu.id.au>]

Package: gcj-3.3
Version: 3.3-3
Severity: normal

Hi...

gcj doesn't appear to like high-valued characters in it's input stream. I see 
this while trying to build parts of kdebindings:

KDirOperator.java:44: error: unrecognized character in input stream.
    from Björn Sahlström <bjorn@kbear.org> until they will be integrated
                                                                        ^
KDirOperator.java:45: error: unrecognized character in input stream.
    into this library. See 
http://devel-home.kde.org/~pfeiffer/DnD-classes.tar.gz
                                                                                 
^
KIconView.java:34: error: unrecognized character in input stream.
    you use this signal instead of the above mentioned. This way you don´t

etc... lots of such errors removed.

Since Sun's jdk apparently doesn't have a problem with this, could gcj be made 
to handle these characters too?

Thanks,
Peter
