Many Linux distros include "java" packages that are incomplete or not
entirely compatible with the Java standard.  GNOME-speech's Java support
can't build if you don't have the Java IDL compiler, "idlj".  I think
this indicates that the configure.in script needs to be tidied up so
that the failure to find "idlj" is either a fatal error, or results in
the Java parts of GNOME-speech being ignored as though no Java
environment at all were found.

It sounds as though you worked around this in your configure file.
