I have to admit I've never seen those warnings.  I'm sure I don't need
to say I'm not running a 2.4 copy of Linux.

We've patched bcopy and friends out in IcedTea, so clearly others have
run into them.  Matthias Koch, who packages IcedTea for Debian/Ubuntu,
 added the patch so you'd have to ask him.  Maybe a newer gcc promotes
them from warnings to errors?

Probably http://openjdk.java.net, that's where I get mine :)
