When making libjava on Interix for mingw, compiling jv-convert.exe fails when
linking with thousands of undefined references.
Closer analysis shows that these are caused by three members missing from
libgcj.a:
exception.o, gnu/java/security/OID.o and
gnu/java/net/protocol/http/HTTPURLConnection.o
Trying to add them to libgcj.a by hand with "ar ru" also fails.
The reason is that libgcj.a already contains three members whose names differ
by case only:
java/lang/Exception.o, org/ietf/jgss/Oid.o and java/net/HttpURLConnection.o
Obviously, on mingw ar handles archive member names case-insensitivly, not
allowing two members to differ by case only (a natural behaviour on windows).
Could the names be made unique?
