Why not <copy> the sources from each of those source directories in turn to some other directory (build/mergedsrc?), then run a single <javac> on that directory instead? Using <copy preservelastmodified="true"> should ensure the javac doesn't think the combined source files have changed unless the corresponding ones in the original directory (or their overrides) have, and therefore shouldn't recompile any classes unless it needs to.
