I tried building kotlin this week and stumbled on the same issue. 
Tweaking the signature of the abstract method and/or its implementations 
  didn't work. I'm thinking about rebuilding a clean kotlin package in 
bookworm with the Java 21 patches and then uploading it to unstable to 
get out of this.

I can review your changes. Don't bother with the RFS, you can open PRs 
on Salsa and ping us here.
