  I just tested building with all optional ant packages installed,
not just build requires on ant-apache-regexp, but it still fails.
By any chance, are you using ant 1.8.0? I think this can be an issue...

  Also, are you using gcj instead of an older openjdk to bootstrap?
I just tried gcj, but it fails with an internal compiler error...

  I am following this list for some months now :-) But while this looks
interesting, I will pass the offer :-) I have been working for quite
some time in my own, still unnamed, dynamically typed, programming
language (https://code.google.com/p/exl/), and would have very few time
to offer any productive help...
