It doesn't solve the problem, but yes, it looks like a bug in build.xml. The
path should be ${java.home}/lib/tools.jar, not ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar.
This looks like one for the tomcat rpm maintainer.

The log4j warning can also be quelled also, but this does not appear to be the
problem, either.

This is during the tomcat5 build, so all the jars are explicitly specified
through property files, so the classes it is picking up shouldn't be an issue.

I'd be happy to know if anyone has successfully gotten past this point when
building the rpm, and whether any recent gcj patches may solve this issue.
