The patch looks good to me. If I understand correctly this may be
because we’re bootstrapping with GCJ, which implements Java 1.5. You
can see in the log that “javac” runs with “-source 1.5 -target 5”, which
means that it assumes that the code is written in compliance with Java
1.5. Maybe this file simply is not valid Java 1.5.
According to http://stackoverflow.com/a/8697805/519736 address@hidden is
interpreted more strictly in 1.5. I don’t know much about Java and I
haven’t looked at the sources in question, but I guess there are
address@hidden annotations above the five method declarations. We might be
able to just remove them.
I think this should be reported to Andrew; looks like a bug as
bootstrapping with GCJ should work for OpenJDK 6.
