Indeed. But the very fact that, sometimes, it builds, indicates the
Irix 6.5 port of libjava is fundamentally functional, it just happens
to expose problems in the compiler. So, having Java enabled by
default is a good thing, so that we can keep on verifying that it
works until the final release. If we eventually find it's hopeless,
we can always disable it.
