Hi David, I thought about that too. But I was unable to find info on OpenJDK + SPARC + Linux. Is that combination even supported? The README doesn't list it: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#MBE The option seemed more like a relic from Solaris + SPARC config rather than a requirement for Linux + SPARC.
