In it's infinite wisdom, Libreoffice does not tell us exactly what went
wrong. Upon further investigation (like 16 hours worth), it seems to be
that hsql won't compile on JDK11 without a patch (adapts it to no longer
use a certain method that was removed). There is also a build problem
later on due to JDK's changes to Javadoc as well.
The two relevant commits upstream are:
[https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/external/hsqldb?id=1d3f2ed0606cc971513dab5932ec7d1dd2a15f90]

I'll generate a patch for the book and submit it.
