Bug#753315: RFS: ecj/3.10.0-1 - [UPLOADED]

[Emmanuel Bourg]

This issue is caused by a bug in ecj 3.10 related to overridden methods
with a covariant return type. Here StringBuffer.class is missing bridge
methods matching the signature of the methods defined in the Appendable
class. javac and ecj 3.9 generate them properly. I reported the issue
upstream:

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/438812

I tried to work around this issue by replacing 'name_sig->append' with
'name_sig->StringBuffer$append'. It compiles but break later in the
build process:
