Just lucky? ;)

Which is just the maximum number of errors it reports before dying.

Can you please post the top of the error too please?  I.e. the actual
javac command that is being executed.

Some other questions (assuming your Linux JDK is the Sun JDK):

1. Is the Sun JDK up to date?  I've never seen this error, but it
   doesn't hurt to make sure everything is up to date.

2. Have you tried the Blackdown or IBM JDKs to do the bootstrapping?
   Do they report the same error?  You'll have to tweak the
   LINUX_BOOTSTRAP_JDKS variable in the Makefile to try this.
