Jikes 1.17 is much better than 1.15 or 1.16 in terms of producing 
correct bytecode in several situations.  But that version also fails on 
the current tree; it looks like some import problems in the java.nio 
package, but I haven't tried to fix it yet.  I'm not sure about 
compiling the tree with javac; and even if that works, I won't recommend 
it since it is not a free compiler.
