Bug#764017: closure-compiler: java.lang.RuntimeException when run on architectures with gcj instead of openjdk (hurd-i386, kfreebsd-any, sparc)

[Johannes Schauer]

Package: closure-compiler
Version: 20130227+dfsg1-6
Severity: important

Hi,

suppose, the file "out.js" is empty then the following will happen on
architectures without openjdk but gcj (hurd-i386, kfreebsd-any, sparc):

$ closure-compiler --js out.js
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.LinkageError: loading constraint violated

This renders closure-compiler useless on hurd-i386, kfreebsd-any and sparc.

cheers, josch
