In this bug report there seems to be a similar problem.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219959

I wonder that they compile it using another VM.
debian/rules says explicit
export DH_OPTIONS
ifdef DEB_OPT_WITH_JAVAHL
  # jikes 1.22 cannot compile javahl.
  confflags += --enable-javahl --without-jikes \
               --with-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj \
               --with-junit=/usr/share/java/junit.jar
else
  DH_OPTIONS += -Nlibsvn-java -Nlibsvn-javahl
  confflags += --disable-javahl
endif
