I'll preface this by saying I don't know all that much about Java so I might
just be missing some prerequisite I'm not aware of. I only know the app I'm
trying to build needs the Xerces stuff. Anyway, when trying to emerge
xerces-2.3.0-r1 I get the following errors before it bombs out. I poked around
in /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1 but didn't see a compile log.
