I realized the same error for kaffe-1.1.4.PRECVS7-1 yesterday trying to
build rhino with kaffe/jikes. In my case it happenes due to an recursive
ant call inside the build.xml - when I removed the ant call by replacing
the call with the actuall target xml code it worked.

This is just a workaround but maybe also a hint for finding the
error. To make clear what I meant with recusive ant call this is my
workaround patch for rhino:
