Nobody tried and nobody cares it seems. In the past some people might
have tried and they said it didn't work. I have never heard of someone
who did the work to get any other compiler besides ecj, gcj, jikes or
kjc working. More compiler support is welcome. But obviously someone
should then also volunteer to keep it in a working state so it doesn't
bitrot the build system.
