I just tried the latest java-gcj-compat (62) rpm and are you suggesting
moving the bcprov jar there? Currently, if it's not in
/usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed, then gcj cannot find it. Note, this is
where jessie and gnu-crypto are already and bc is no different as far as
I can see.
Also, some of the symlinks in /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed are
versioned, while others are not. What is the policy here?

I am not sure what the specs say. In my updated package, I use only
%{_javadir}, so this becomes a non-issue. Remember, nothing ever used
the /usr/share/java-ext directory explicitly, so we never ran into the
issue, even on the proprietary stacks.
