Dear Gettext maintainers:
I've received the following report from the Debian BTS.
This is now serious for us because it makes a lot of packages to fail
to build from source.
[ Question for Emmanuel: Whenever a new GCC breaks a lot of packages,
individual packages are still allowed to build-depend: old-gcc
as a last resort. Would this be a possibility here? ]
Thanks.

Package: gettext
Version: 0.19.8.1-4
Severity: normal

Usertags: default-java9
Hi,
msgfmt doesn't work with Java 9, when invoked with the --java2 parameter
it fails to detect the JDK and returns this error message:
msgfmt: Java compiler not found, try installing gcj or set $JAVAC
msgfmt: compilation of Java class failed, please try --verbose or set $JAVAC
This issue breaks the build of at least two packages (plm and salliere).
It's possible to reproduce this issue by installing default-jdk/0.59+exp2
from experimental.
