I think that's because GCJ was removed from GCC in version 7, and so the
build tries to use gcj-6 with g++-7, which leads to the following error
message.

Luckily, pdftk packaging already has a method to choose a specific GCC
version. One only has to do the inverse of this commit:

Here is the required change.
