OK. I still don't really understand what was causing the problem.
There must be something peculiar about the way that it was being built.
As long as the classes are compiled with -findirect-dispatch -Bsymbolic,
built into a shared library, the library added to the database, and the
bootclasspath pointed at the jarfiles, everything should be fine.
I'm guessing that what happens here is that the org.relaxng classes
are compiled into an executable in the hope that these classes will be
preferred to the ones of the same name in libgcj.

Yeah, I see that you've renamed the classes to avoid gcj finding its own
versions.
