I've had some luck compiling Eclipse with jikes. Also, Anthony
pointed out to me that you can compile the Eclipse java compiler with
gcj and then use that to build Eclipse. This approach is a bit of a
pain since you need to write some code to plug into ant.

If the JDK does, I suppose we ought to. Other than that, I'd rather
not.

Yes, please. I've investigated this bug before. It is a problem with
merging interface types. It's been on my "must fix" list since
forever -- no time :-(
