Hi Tsurutani,
Can you file a bug report against gcj45 with the LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
setting, using the pdftk problem as an example? That way, the upstream
gcc developers will be notified that there's a problem.
In the mean time, I am investigating whether it's feasible to add Java
support to all of the lang/gcc4* ports so pdftk can use a version older
than 4.5, if the gcj binary is already installed. This will also save a
lot of time installing a complete gcc just to get the gcj compiler.
Thank you,
Greg
