Actually it seems this is not the best solution. The issue comes from
the fact on Debian we are having the java installed in
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java, using symlinks. The configure script tries
to follow symlinks to determine the correct include directory.
With OpenJDK, it fails to find it, but it is workarounded by the
following code in debian/rules:
CFLAGS += -I$(JAVA_HOME)/include
With GCJ, after following the symlinks, it is able to find /usr/include
and also include /usr/include/linux as it is a linux system. This
include directory contains headers that conflicts with the GNU libc
headers, hence the strange configure output.
In my opinion the best solution is to avoid following the symlinks on
Debian, as it can gives some strange behaviors later. That's what the
patch below does. I have a test build in progress, currently running
the testsuite.

As we are on a Linux system, it looks for $java_top_directory/include/linux. With openjdk, the java top directory is "/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/" while with gcj it is simply "/usr", so /usr/include/linux get added to the include search path. This causes conflicts with the GNU libc headers. The configure script has a special case when the java top directory is "/usr", but it fails on Debian as we are using relative symlinks: test /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/../../../..

Package: db4.8 Version: 4.8.30-1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source configure fails with: > configure: error: No unsigned 1-byte integral type https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=db4.8;ver=4.8.30-1;arch=mips;stamp=1282685080 aurel32 says configure is buggy and doesn't handle java not being openjdk (gcj is used on mips), but he didn't have time to investigate/fix, so if somebody else can step up that would be nice.
