Currently finishing up the upstream 0.92 release, so we can have the
formal backport. So I haven't yet to compile this myself.

I am CCing Tom and Tom who might recognize this issue.

Also make sure sources.am is up to date and the automake files are
regenerated (see the libjava/HACKING file).

My quick guess is that there is something wrong with either the sources
or the build instructions of DateFormat.java. This file used to have a
private override in libgcj, but since the latest merge it should use the
upstream classpath version. Make sure that it is removed from
libjava/java/text/DateFormat.java and that there is a new file
libjava/classpath/java/text/DateFormat.java
Similar for SimpleDateFormat.java.

Cheers,

Mark
