The visible face of the problem is that it uses libgcj's xml classes
rather than those in xml-commons-apis.  libgcj's are newer and contain
more interface definitions, so I needed to add stubs in xalan-j2.
These are in xalan-j2-bz152255.patch in Fedora xalan-j2.

The core of the problem is that there is a bunch of packages which
builds using xml-commons-apis, but when you use libgcj only a small
minority actually see xml-commons-apis whereas the rest see libgcj's
XML classes.  I have no idea why.
