yeah, seems so. thanks for checking, it's kind of weird, since I'm not seing
such problems anywhere else. Crashes during compilation: yes, but not being
able to find some methods: that's the first platform I've seen. If you can
build the class library from 1.1.0 you should have these methods in the
resulting rt.jar file :)

a) this is a very far fetched possibility, but let's get it out of the way: do
you have an older installation of kaffe in your PATH and its kjc as your JAVAC?

b) it could be some problem during the class library compilation that remains
undetected: did make in libraries/javalib produce any errors, or warnings? i.e.
if you 

cd libraries/javalib; make clean; make

do you see anything suspicious?

c) could you 

cd test/regression; make check VERBOSE=1 TESTS=FileChecks.java 

and post the resulting output?

cheers,
