mjl 4d4dcca909 Update jikes to 1.15
The primary objective of this release was bug fixes, not new features.
Highlights of the release follow, see the ChangeLog for more detail and
the code for even finer detail.

Build
  - --enable-debug now works and provides correct CXXFLAGS
  - firend class issues brought into compliance with lang spec
  - VC++ enablement of __int64 for long long
  - tolerate non-ISO conformant encoding names when searching
  - correct namespace generation in java.g (so the parser won't
     regress every time we update the grammer again)
  - include jikesapi.h in the distribution (Note that this is
     at best a very early alpha preview)
  - prevent bad code generation by VC++ in IEEEfloat
  - finished removal of dead EBCDIC code - to be replaced by
     use of JikesAPI class latter

Parser
  - remove some parenthesized expressions not allowed by JLS
  - synchronized(null){} isn't valid, don't allow it
  - prevent core dump when local class method omits return type
  - inner classes and static members error handling cleanup
  - fix assertion `this_type -> HeaderProcessed()' failures
  - don't allow invalid combinations of abstract, native and strictfp
  - don't allow qualified explicit this constructor
  - make sure string constants are compiled inline
  - fix assertion from NULL in SemanticError::Report
  - be more compliant with JLS 14.4.2 and scope of duplication of token
  - fix regression in 1.14 when ?: mixed primitive and reference types

Emitter
  - reverse the logic of large branches to use goto_w and jsr_w
     for branch offsets requiring more than two bytes
  - never set ACC_STATIC bit on local classes
  - make sure private methods and anonymous classes are always
     final, and anonymous classes are never static.
  - second round of JPDA pampering; believed to make it happy now
  - prevent LocalVariableTable_attribute::AddLocalVariable assertion
  - fix VerifyErrors caused by reuse of local vars in try/catch and
     synchronized blocks

User Interface
  - correct classpath handling issues on cygwin
  - treat @files as one argument per line, regardless of whitespace
