Providing hsdis binaries

[Chris Newland]

Hi all,

There's a small fire over at jmh-dev regarding hsdis.

I've never had any problems building it from OpenJDK sources on any
platform but since JITWatch makes use of it I'd like to provide binaries
(the ones over on Kenai are 5+ years old and binutils / gas which hsdis
links are still actively developed.

The easiest instructions for building on Windows
(http://dropzone.nfshost.com/hsdis.htm) claim there's GPL v2 / v3
incompatibility with binutils which prevents providing binaries.

Any OpenJDK licensing experts care to comment?

I'll ask over at the sourceware mailing list as well.

Cheers,

Chris
