After this brainstorming with all of you, finally figured out the error. The
issue was with doxia, that is in the site-tools. The build failed in a
compile section, so I didn't thought that caused the issue. I have
incorporated an older incompatible doxia version, thinking I can fix the
site-related stuff later. With the new version, it worked. It's not related
to bootstrapping anyway.

Thanks to Hervé, Kristian, Martin and all the others for helping!

Oh well, 'nightmare' is probably the word that suits in here as well! But
this is a long-time blocker in Gentoo. maven-bin is already available for
users, this effort is for the packagers. There was an effort several years
ago, which got stalled due to developer got hit by bus factor. Now is the
time to get this right!
