Which is the tell tale sign that it is not an Ant problem.

Some file that exists in tomcat is referencing SSLServerSocketFactory 
somehow. This causes the compiler (javac/jikes/whatever) to include it in 
compilation even though ant has not told it to do so.

So if the their build file had been written correctly they would also exclude 
this other file because it also depends on SSL being present. This has not 
occured which is why you need to go through two compile cycles to get it to 
work.
