/dev/ttyS0 was explicitly declared, but to no avail

And here comes --unfortunately-- the next problem. Brltty3.9 configured
without complaining, but compilation broke while processing
java:bindings.c  -- lots of unresolved symbols etc.  I did run
gendeps a couple of times and emerged all possible java facilities
under the sun, but things did not improve. The configuration for
the tested version included the --disable-java-bindings flag.
Will the gnome / orca tandem still work when java is not included
in brltty?

better news next time
