Brilliant!

FWIW it looks right to me that something like this would trigger SIGBUS
when hotspot is run during mips(el) builds or possibly sparc.

Debian Java maintainers might also insist on that, before considering
openjdk-7 as default java.

Sorry to jump in on a thread about mips, but on kfreebsd we are also
looking to switch to openjdk-7 as soon as possible.  And we were advised
to send our patches upstream also.  I'd appreciate any advice on how to
go about doing that.

Ideally we could consistently have openjdk-7 as default on all of
Debian's release arches and be moving *away* from gcj-jdk.

No this patch hasn't been discussed so far, so feel free to continue the
discussion to the Debian Java List only, but please keep me in Cc: as I
am not subscribed to it.

That's an odd patch.  Is there a discussion of this somewhere, or can
we take this discussion to the Debian Java List only?  I'd like to get
this fixed upstream.
