Actually, further digging suggests that Peter found a way to hack our
stylesheets to avoid that openjade bug:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/200612100315.47269.peter_e@gmx.net
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=465269b8a

So it's possible that the openjade bug is still there, but has been
defanged for our purposes. In any case, there's still little reason
to think that it would apply to a different toolchain.
