I had no problems compiling classpath with jikes.  The trick is, to
set the classpath correctly:

cd classpath/lib
jikes -classpath .:..:../vm/reference -d . `cat classes`

There are still some problems (most are problems of classpath, not of
jikes, though).  I haven't tried it with dependencies yet, but jikes
is so fast, that you can easily recompile everything.
