If kaffe finds the executable "jar" somewhere in the PATH it will be used
during compilation, otherwise it will use its own. The java-config packages
provides a script (/usr/bin/jar) as a wrapper for the selected VM's jar
executable. If no jre/jdk is installed, java-config's script fails, and so does
the kaffe build, which tries to use it. One way to resolve this would
(possibly) be to install java-config-* after kaffe, since it doesn't seem to be
needed before anyways.

It's not "Core system"...

Installing java-config after kaffe isn't really possible, since kaffe (and all
vms) depend on java-config during their postinstall.

The better way would be to find a way to force kaffe to use it's own jar.

Adding export FASTJAR="$S/external/gcc/fastjar/fastjar" to src_compile force
kaffe to use it's own jar. I don't know if it's a good solution.

Using fastjar is probably a pretty good solution> It can actually be packaged
separately, and we have ebuilds kicking around our overlays somewhee I'm quite
sure.
