Does it also happen with a fresh CVS checkout? Or after a make distclean
(make distclean && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-jikes && make)
What kind of environment do you have?
On my Debian GNU/Linux system (x86/testing) with jikes Version: 1:1.22-2
it works fine.

The simplest is using gcj (3.4.x or 4.0.0) instead of jikes. That is a
bit slower and use a lot more memory though.
