gij 4.8 on armv7l

Hello,

I am running gcc 4.8.5 and experiencing the following issue with java
on armv7l architecture.
I think that issue can be related to gnu java code runtime interpreter.

Apache ant fails with the following trace when run using gij:

[   76s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/xml-commons-1.3.04/xml-commons-1_0_b2/build.xml:49:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
[   76s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/xml-commons-1.3.04/xml-commons-1_0_b2/java/external/build.xml:120:

[   76s]    at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Tar.execute(Tar.java:314)

Where -1292065064 randomly changes with every restart. An issue here
that the length is a constant in essence. I checked that the same
ant.jar run fine with oracle java 1.8.0.
It would be great if you could point me how to try to debug and solve
this issue.
