Both of these look like an apache-ant problem (see the error messages 
about org.apache.tools.ant.Main failing to load).  In particular, they 
look like the bulk build is trying to run an ant built with a modern 
java compiler against the ancient native pkgsrc jdk.  You may want to 
ping the ant MAINTAINER about these -- if ant won't run, then packages 
built using ant aren't going to build, after all.

This was updated this last week by erh, who I am pulling into the CC on 
this mail.  That things like this can break -- and the MAINTAINER be 
spammed with bulk-build notices -- is another reason to check with 
MAINTAINER before updating a pkg.

erh:  do you want to take over MAINTAINERship of this package?  I'm 
unlikely to get to it again soon, while you seem interested in it...

wiz:  doesn't the high rate at which packages failing to build turns out 
to be actually caused by other packages malfunctioning suggest that 
spamming the MAINTAINER with each bulk build result may be a bad idea?  
Just my $0.02 USD...
