Good news, the grpc-java issue is now fixed.

Unfortunately, I'm still not able to build bazel-bootstrap on this
architecture. I added memory to the Java build [3] so it no longer fails
from running out of heap space. However, it now fails with an exception
(Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1).

I created a Dockerfile [4] that will allow for an easy demonstration of the
problem from any host architecture.

I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks!

-Olek (subscribed to both Bazel and Java lists so no need to copy me if
you're copying either of those lists)
