The number of issues with that gamma/Queens makefile logic is too

should be restricting ourselves to building what we ship as part of

opinion, the whole thing needs to be moved to the hotspot/test
area.
In addition, the gamma launcher code is riddled with
troublesome/buggy code that gets little attention, mostly because
it isn't shipped as part of the product. If you guys want this code
as part of the build, it needs some attention. If it is just a test
case, then isolate it and make it one.
We need to do a better job of separating out the building logic
from the testing logic.
Just my 2 cents... ;^)
Here here!
In the macosx-port we explicitly added a hook to ignore the gamma
test because cross compiling with the Apple Java SE 6 (which is how
_everyone_ gets off the ground) is impossible otherwise.
We have the same problem in IcedTea. We have a patch that disables the
gamma test so we can bootstrap openjdk with gcj. A proper way to skip
the gamma test will be very useful.
