Problems with openjdk crash when building eclipse for raspbian and possiblly debian armhf

[peter green]

I maintain a debian derivative called raspbian which aims to rebuild 
debian for the raspberry pi and other armv6 hardware (though other than 
the Pi there doesn't seem to be much popular armv6 hardware arround). 
Note that while we target armv6 hardware we use armv7 hardware for our 
build machines.

Recently i've been trying to build eclipse for raspbian jessie and 
getting errors like.

post.compile. at dot:

init:

dh_auto_build: ant provision.cvs died with signal 6
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/eclipse-3.8.1'
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
root at plugwash:/eclipse-3.8.1#

That particular error is from an attempt with an openjdk-7 package based 
on the latest version in debian sid with a minor patch to stop it 
setting off our armv7 contamination checker (versioned as 
7u25-2.3.12-1+rpi1)but i've also had similar failures with older 
versions of openjdk-7 and with openjdk-6.

I've also seen similar issues over in debian sid. The most recent 
eclipse upload succeeded but the previous two failed so I'm not sure if 
that was a fluke. There don't appear to have been any relavent changes 
to the eclipse package in the most recent upload and previous versions 
that failed.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
