I think you'll need Module::Build to be configured *with* C_support if you
want to use Module::Build to build modules that contain XS files.
I have read that installing ExtUtils:arseXS will enable the C_support. I
don't know if that's correct - there may be others here who *do* know for
sure.

If it *is* correct, you might also need to install ExtUtils:arseXS
*before* you install Module::Build.

You'll also want to install this module before building and installing
Java::Import.

So, in the absence of better, more definitive advice, try installing
(afresh) the following modules in the following order:
ExtUtils:arseXS
Module::Build
GCJ::Cni
Java::Import

One other thing puzzles me. When we build using Module::Build aren't we
suppposed to run:
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

And yet you have run:
perl Makefile.PL
make

I guess that, in this case, both approaches are valid .... but that's
something else I don't know for sure......
