For the first time, I've been trying a full complete build of OpenJDK (full open+closed forest.)
I'm building on Ubuntu, and the build has now failed a second time because of a missing command -- or more specifically, a command which is not installed by default. The first command was msgfmt, the latest was bb. I do not know if there are more to come. It would be nice if make sanity had a mechanism for a quick existence check for commands that are likely to be required during the build, so that missing commands can be detected and reported early, and not one at a time at the end of a long build. -- Jon
