I did a make from control/make.  This should work, right?

I tried that with the previous version I built, but it broke a bit
later:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mounts/hel/disks/0/shared-data/njriley/openjdk/old/jre/lib/rt.jar (No such file or directory)

I do see rt.jar in j2re-image/lib and j2sdk-image/jre/lib in my older
build, but it really seems it the current OpenJDK build should be
creating rt.jar itself.

Thanks, by the way, for your weblog entries on the build process - I
wouldn't have come this far without them.
