I suggest to try at least GCC 3.0 and the related libraries:

Package: gcc-3.0
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: devel
Installed-Size: 3032
Maintainer: Debian GCC maintainers <deb...@li...>
Source: gcc-3.0 (1:3.0.4ds3-7)
Version: 1:3.0.4-7
Replaces: egcc
Provides: c-compiler
Depends: gcc-3.0-base, libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0.4-7), libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), cpp-3.0 (>= 1:3.0.4-7), cpp-3.0 (<< 1:3.0.5), binutils (>= 2.11.93.0.2-2)
Recommends: libc-dev
Suggests: gcc-3.0-doc (>= 1:3.0.4-7)
Conflicts: libc5-dev, egcc
Description: The GNU C compiler.
  This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C.

This sounds like problems with non-matching exceptions from different C++ objects.

Yes, works for me (Debian 3.0, GCC 3.0, J2SDK 1.4_01)

The default is static linking for the libquickfix.so library, but you need
a dynamically linked libquickfix_jni.so. Otherwise, Java could not load the library
at runtime. Of course, you do not want to link the code into the JVM...

Please ask me if you have further questions related to the compilation with GCC 3.0.

Cheers, Jörg
