Mac OS PPC link failure - now success

[Eric Richardson]

Hi Kurt,

The changes you pushed fixed the problem.

new-host-2:bsd-ppc eric$ bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-internal-eric_2011_01_05_22_48-b00)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 20.0-b03, interpreted mode)

The only thing I found that needed correcting was the following:
build-bootstrap-javac:
    [javac] Compiling 68 source files to
/Users/eric/bsdport/bsd-port/build/bsd-ppc/langtools/build/bootstrap/classes
    [javac] /Users/eric/bsdport/bsd-port/langtools/src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/nio/JavacPathFileManager.java:377:
method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
    [javac]             @Override

I commented out the @Override and then it compiled fine. Don't know if
that has been taken care of upstream or not. I could investigate if
needed.

Thanks for all the help,
Eric
