You've not read the output correctly. The file named by make failed, that file named is gnu/javax/swing/text/html/parser/HTML_401F.lo.

GCJ did not give an error.

That then is a bug is gcj, a failed compile should produce output. I would first have to ask, are you sure your not outwitting yourself with:

make bootstrap 1>Make.out.log.txt 2>Make.error.log.txt

?  Hint, don't do that..  Do make >log 2>&1 instead.

The only error was the generic make error. I know, I repeated the process and varieties for
hours trying to track down an error on my part. I get "make[3]: ***
[gnu/javax/swing/text/html/parser/HTML_401F.lo] Error 1" and no other
error.

That is consistent with misunderstanding what is in Make.out.log.txt and Make.error.log.txt.

Run the command with the -O2 option, does it fail?  If so, does it
always fail if you run it 5 times?  If so, that bug is probably a run
of the mill compiler bug.  Feel free to file a bug report.  Do make
sure you have enough memory and paging file space on the system though.

The "-O2" is there, apparently, by default. It took removing it to
finish the compile.

I notice that you didn't answer my question if it fails if you run it with -O2 by hand. If you had, I suspect it would have given you output that would have made it clear.

The bug may be in the compiler, but I don't have enough specific information to file a bug report

The compiler (name of snapshot/svn revision number) fails to build on a mingw32 system, it dies with make[3]: *** [gnu/javax/swing/text/ html/parser/HTML_401F.lo] Error 1. That should be enough to get the ball rolling.

or I already would have.

Ah, yes, probably the same problem. If you run it by hand, and it runs out of memory, you can be fairly certain that is the same problem.

Anyway, that problem can be discussed on the java list directly, I'd expect they might say more about it there, if you're interested.
