This is a more general issue. Currently even on i386 libg++272 does
not build with a gcc272, which was built on potato. We would need a
glibc-2.0 based build environment, I doubt this is worth the
trouble. Currently there are only the following packages dependant on
libg++272:
netscape & communicator
and optimizer (Does not compile with gcc-2.9x and egcs). The
maintainer wanted to remove this package for the slink release. But
it's still there ...
There is another not yet filed bug ... altgcc does not build from
source on potato.

if someone tries the following: apply the gcj-backport patch to gcc,
build the libgcj from the CVS and tell me if it works ... Another
solution is to backport libgc5 to libgcj-2.95.1
