Hi Ito, salut Guilhem,

I've tried to update kaffe-extras to 1.1.3 and ant 1.6.0, and after 
spending some time revisiting the ant bootstrap script, I failed due to 
what seems to be a compiler bug in kjc.
   

We were not able to reproduce this error with the current CVS version of
KJC; the version of KJC dated April 20, 2002 from the Kaffe CVS tree
(libraries/javalib/kjc.jar) compiles the test program provided by
Guilhem on this mailing list without error; however the current version
of KJC in the Kaffe CVS tree fails: it appears that one of the patches
and workarounds added to the Kaffe version of KJC causes this error.
 

The error is caused by the second static initializer checking (patch 
sent by Ito Kazumitsu):
"Added kaffe-extras/patches/kjc-main-checkInitializers.diff.
This is to prevent some constant fields from being left unset."

As I've already said, this second checking causes a confusion with 
updated variables in KJC. I bet we should remove it and replace with 
another one. Once I have some time free I'll dig into it another time.

Cheers,
Guilhem.
