The bootcycle-images build fails with:
---
Compiling 12 files for jdk.zipfs
Compiling 13 files for java.prefs
Compiling 3 files for java.transaction
Compiling 192 files for java.naming
Warning: generation and use of skeletons and static stubs for JRMP
is deprecated. Skeletons are unnecessary, and static stubs have
been superseded by dynamically generated stubs. Users are
encouraged to migrate away from using rmic to generate skeletons and static
stubs. See the documentation for java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject.
error: An error has occurred in the compiler; please file a bug report (http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/).
