To unbreak the OS X build you can issue the following commands which
will revert the minor breakage in the tree right now. But first enable
the mq extension in ~/.hgrc to enable the hg strip command:
[extensions]
hgext.mq =
$ cd bsd-port
$ cd hotspot
$ hg strip 32826d5f1894
$ cd ../jdk
$ hg strip 97139295a172
Temporally DEVTOOLS_PATH needs to be set to point an existing directory.
It doesn't matter what dir since OS X doesn't use it, just something to
satisfy the sanity check.
