Upstream has fixed the Java 9 issues in the version 1.6.22. I've managed to build it with some tweaks. It turns out the problematic code in Javac.java is only required to support the long gone JDK 6 & 7, so I simply removed it. Other parts of the code still have to be built against the JDK 8 API though. So despite default-jdk can be used to build the package, the dependency on openjdk-8-jdk has to be retained (the build adds rt.jar to the bootclasspath when compiling some classes). Emmanuel Bourg
