I spent some time poking at this and problem appears to be in msgfmt
(part of gettext).  The same FTBFS occurs with
trapperkeeper-webserver-jetty9-clojure.

Likely related... gettext is also FTBFS against experimental with
OpenJDK 17 installed.  As you suggest, it appears to be an issue with
detecting javac.

    (jdk-exp-amd64-sbuild)root at lark:/tmp# javac -version
    javac 17-ea


From the configure during the gettext build:

    ...
    checking for Java virtual machine... java
    checking for Java compiler... no
    ...

Any concerns with me retitling this bug, reassigning it to gettext,
adding affects to trapperkeeper-webserver-jetty9-clojure, and then
filing a separate FTBFS bug against gettext for sid/bookworm?

Thanks,
tony
