Hi Eric,

That's great. :-)

I also needed to comment out the @Override. I determined that is only needed
because Landon's bootstrap JDK is too old. The resulting JDK from the current
build can boostrap the next build without the need for removing @Override.
However it fails on the hotspot Queens.class test due to the change in the JDK
startup process vs DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Once that is fixed the PPC/Zero
build should be good to use for bootstrap (and no need to remove @Override).

I should have a new power cord in a week or so. If I can find the free time,
I'll see what I can do to fix that remaining issue. What's confusing to me is
that I would expect the x86* OS X build to also have the Queen.class problem.
I don't have x86* OS X so I can't verify.

Is anyone with x86* OS X able to use the openjdk7 jdk build as the bootstrap
jdk for openjdk7 (for ALT_BOOTDIR)

Thanks,
-Kurt
