"SSA" means "static single assignment".  It is a kind of compiler
technology.

The RPM is named this because it comes from the tree-ssa branch of
gcc.

What's important isn't the ssa-ness of the compiler, but rather that
the patches we added to gcj for eclipse are only available in this
RPM.

You're welcome.

I believe all the required ant patches are in rhug.
