I've successfully built b31 with gcc 4.3.1 via IcedTea7: ./openjdk/build/linux-amd64/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0_0" IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_0-b31) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.7.0_0-b31, mixed mode) Notably, we were able to drop a patch from IcedTea that removes the -Werror flag because the gcc 4.3 problems have been fixed: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6718830 -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
