It would be nice if you could at least indicate what kind of non-compliance you are talking of here. Is it strictfp, accuracy of results, rounding of floating-point literals, or something else? Of course, you should not reproduce tests verbatim from the JCK, but please provide some indication of what you're talking about in this bug report. For example, are you talking of JLS3 section 4.2.4 here? If yes, can you please elaborate exactly how using GCJ as the compiler to compile your compiler is affecting its status w.r.t. the JCK? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24454
