Just a few things I've noticed on today's Gump+Kaffe build when trying
to find fixable Classpath errors:

bootstrap-ant: Fails due to a dumb dependency on sun.tools.native2ascii
logging-log4cxx-autogen: Errors in using autoconf to create configure
authx-example: lacks dependencies
jakarta-tomcat-jk-native: Fails to find libtool
ldap-clients: lacks dependencies

This is using data from:

'This Gump run is complete. It started at Mon, 31 Jan 2005 09:01:48
(PST) and ended at Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:33:53 (PST).'

which only lists the above five packages under 'Issues'.  I guess the
ant failure

bootstrap-ant 
Dependees: 633
Affected: 632
Failed Build Failed
Builds in this state: 1

 stops the rest (the list of pre-reqs is huge).  I did notice earlier
(when it was still running) many more failures, including another dumb
dependency on sun.util.TimeZone (in icu4j or something similar).  I
suppose it must filter these out following the run.  It seems a change
was made to the Ant build which caused this recently.

Hope this helps,
