Probably the simplest thing is to just go ahead and compile with
whatever javac you have, then compile the jars to object code.

ant does have a gcj adapter, but if you are using the svn trunk you
might as well use the ecj adapter instead.  If you're on a recent free
OS, Fedora springs to mind :), then javac points to ecj already and
ant is set up to use it automatically.
