OK, so, I'm "no java whiz" so keep that in mind....
I was just able to install it::
Installed versions:  6.2.1(09:59:02 AM 06/27/2016)(npm snapshot 
ssl -debug -doc -icu -test CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")

So it's probably an issue on your system.

Security reading suggest that 6.3.0 is out, so I'd file a bug at bgo
to 'version bump' it anyway.


First, look at the ebuild as the install procedure is quite long
for an ebuild. So that means there are plenty of place where compiling
can go wrong. Looking at the ebuild flow of control and correlating the
issues in the elog file helps you to comprehend the steps and particularly
hone in on where the compile fail occurred.

Go to the build dir and look at the intermediate files for issues,
permission etc etc.

You can publish your java settings and I'll compare against mine
(I'm not really sure how to print the java-settings only...


Good Hunting!
