I've found out what's blowing up ...

         elif readlink $JAVACOMPILER >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
            # maybe only one level of symlink (e.g. on Mac)
            JAVA_HOME=$(readlink $JAVACOMPILER)
         else

$JAVACOMPILER is set to /usr/bin/javac (which is as expected ...) BUT

on gentoo, that's a symlink to "run-java-tool". What's expected is a
symlink to /opt/icedtea/bin/javac, I think :-)

I'm still digging :-)
