Hi Fabrice,

I can reproduce this bug.

Always it is said to check carefully your code before
blaming some bug in the compiler but this package built
without problems on June with openjdk-6-jdk 6b18-1.8-3
and right now it builds correctly with sun-java6-jdk 6.22-1.

I'm going to need help to find a workaround to fix this.

Cheers,
