sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r1 fails to build with icedtea:7

Reproducible: Always

The interesting part is:

checking whether to use Java... no
checking how to run the C preprocessor... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep
checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E
checking for Java compiler... /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm/bin/javac -target 1.1 -source 1.3
checking for jar... jar

Even so configure is told to disable java it still runs VM commands. So not only icedtea:7 is affected.


I propose to add the following to src_configure:

JAVAC="don't run those checks"

And for >sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r1 it would be 

use java || JAVAC="don't run those checks"

With dev-java/icedtea:6 as system vm there is not such problem.  It simply compiles.

icedtea:6 is about the only exception and probably the reason this issue came up only now.

Sandbox setup taken from java-utils-2.eclass

    local vendor="$(java-pkg_get-vm-vendor)"
    if [[ "${vendor}" == "sun" ]] && java-pkg_is-vm-version-ge "1.5" ; then
        addpredict "/dev/random"
    elif [[ "${vendor}" == "ibm" ]]; then
        addpredict "/proc/self/maps"
        addpredict "/proc/cpuinfo"
        addpredict "/proc/self/coredump_filter"
    elif [[ "${vendor}" == "oracle" ]]; then
        addpredict "/dev/random"
        addpredict "/proc/self/coredump_filter"
    elif [[ "${vendor}" == icedtea* ]] && java-pkg_is-vm-version-ge "1.7" ; then
        addpredict "/dev/random"
        addpredict "/proc/self/coredump_filter"
    elif [[ "${vendor}" == "jrockit" ]]; then
        addpredict "/proc/cpuinfo"
    fi
