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
