 Ok, so 6.2.0 did not resolve the `FATAL:Symbol L58$pb already defined`
 error.

 The error is occurring in the java directory. Java support was recently
 completely removed from gcc7, I think due to a long history of problems
 they finally admitted they don't have the expertise to fix. [comment:5 Ken
 mentioned above] that the build succeeds on PowerPC when Java support is
 removed. We could start by removing Java support only for PowerPC builds,
 and maybe with the next version update of gcc6 we can remove it for all
 platforms.
