the script build/linux/make.sh forces the use of jikes and java found in
the CVS, even though these tools might already be available on the system.

a patch solving the issue

this patch will first look for java and jikes on the system, and only used the
supplied ones if those are not found.

hm, this is a tough one actually.. it's set up this way because we need to
have a specific version of jikes (1.22). so in fact, the test script would
need to first check the version of the installed jikes as well, and crap
out if it wasn't 1.22.

better would just be to fix jikes on linux to build statically so that it
works across distros.

jikes has been fixed for linux with bug #47, so this should no longer be an
issue,
since as previously mentioned we need to ensure versions of java (1.4) and
jikes (1.22)
are available on the system. better to just use the included stuff rather
than create a
complicated script to check for the dependencies.
