tomcat/src/org/apache/tomcat/context/PolicyInterceptor.java
Imports from java.security CodeSource, Permissions,
and ProtectionDomain.
org/apache/tomcat/request/Jdk12Interceptor.java
needs AccessController
org/apache/tomcat/loader/AdaptiveClassLoader12.java
references both ProtectionDomain and AccessController
and
org/apache/jasper/servlet/JasperLoader12.java
references AccessController.
But now that I understand better how Tomcat is configured
and how it works I see that these classes are not needed
for my purposes. After removing them from the build
I can now compile Tomcat (and run) without supplementing 
libgcj.
Thanks for the tip!
