This is why I have offered keep building it on my nightly testers. IME, bugs found during libjava have been also triggered during libstdc++ and/or C. Though several folks at the summit mentioned that they had found bugs triggered only by libjava. My point remains that libjava has become a serious problem in the development cycle of GCC. It takes roughly 3 hours on modern hardware to finish a GCC bootstrap (with -j2). A significant chunk of which is taken by libjava. If we could at least reduce the overhead by not building all of it by default, it would be a huge win. Diego.
