Based on the code, the docs, and the email message for the original
patch, I'd say that only the `--' form was meant to work.  Further, I
think the single `-' form can't work because it conflicts with the
global gcc `-b' option.

That's unfortunate, though, since it means that `gcj -C' isn't drop-in
compatible with `javac' -- and can't be.

Maybe it is finally time to write a javac-like wrapper program that
interprets its arguments and invokes gcj?
