It wasn't the compiler. It seems to be my version of tar !?!?!
I just downgraded tar from 1.13.92-4 to 1.13.25-6
(Debian unstable to Debian testing version) and everything works again.

For some mysterious reason this newer version of tar puts
classpath-0.07+cvs/external/jaxp/source/javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactoryConfigurationError.java
in the tar file as plain "TransformerFactoryConfigurationError.java"
without any directory path. Can someone confirm that downgrading tar
helps.

It sounds fishy, but maybe it is because this path is just one larger
then 100 (101) characters. I read somewhere that tar handles file names
longer then 100 chars special (and different depending on Posix/GNU/etc)

Cheers,

Mark

P.S. I get much further now, but at the end I get the following error:
