It compiles with a ton of warnings but no errors, but linking fails with
the following complaint.

Weirdly enough, the GCJ FAQ answers this question (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/faq.html).

4.7 I'm getting 'undefined symbol: __dso_handle'
Some versions of the GNU linker have broken support for the '.hidden'
directive, which results in problems with shared libraries built with recent versions of
gcc.
There are three solutions:
* downgrade to binutils that don't support .hidden at all,
* upgrade to a recent binutils, or
* undef the HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN definition in gcc's auto-host.h (and rebuild
gcc).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It sounds like Knoppix has a new gcc with an old binutils.
