Not necessary.  Alternatively:
./../kernel/com/netfuel/dir/dds/StorageProvider*.class
should compile to
../../kernel/com/netfuel/dir/dds/StorageProvider.o

Note that gcj allows:
gcj -c Foo*.java -o Foo.o
or:
gcj -c Foo*.class -o Foo.o

One suggested mode is to compile a whole package at once:
gcj -c package/*.class -o package.o

This actually speeds up compilation quite a bit, and may generate
slightly better code.  The only disadvanage is with statically linked
archives, since most linkers can't split .o files.
