For the RPM, you should be able to build JDBC with whatever compiler
produces reliable, quality code. jikes is one good candidate imho.
Not sure if the configure info for JDBC looks for choices of compiler,
or if you can specify the compiler for the build. I can look into it,
but am not sure how one interacts with ant (we are using ant to do the
Java build now, right??) or if ant handles it already.
