By completely omitting --with-jdk-home from autogen.input, I get a
successful build. configure complains that JAVA_HOME is not set, but
the build continues.
Thank you, Stephan.

Oh my!

When I first came from OpenOffice to LibreOffice, lo those
many years ago, I planned to carefully collect all the configuration
and build problems I encountered, thinking that the compilation
would be a useful contribution to the project. I found no problems,
and that is one of the big improvements in LibreOffice: the build
system "just works". A result, though, is that I have needed to
learn essentially nothing about the build system.
