I was having that same problem showing up when compiling (well.. just configuring, as a matter of fact) bash from upstream sources (kubuntu intrepid patched).

Then I was told on the bash IRC channel to try something simpler: make a hello word program. I got exactly the same mistake when I tried to compile it.

I was then told to run:
apt-get install --reinstall build-essential binutils libc6-dev

Then I was able to configure bash successfully.

please recheck with eclipse-3.5 in karmic

Eclipse no longer ships the *-gcj packages -> therefore I am closing this bug as Invalid. (see LP: #446856 for more information).
