Anything that compiles to class files in a straightforward way will
hit this limit, as Chris explained.

There are basically two workarounds: Use a compiler that synthesizes
additional cl***** to work around the limit (I don't know if one
exists), or a compiler that does not compile to class files, such as
an earlier GCJ version.  The latter approach might work if your
intention is to get the code running.  (Nowadays, GCJ uses class files
as well.)
