Build problems on Ubuntu 8.04

[David Herron]

I saw that and have filed a bug about it. 

6681798 (build) CharsetEncoder.java fails to compile in openjdk6 on 
ubuntu 8.04
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6681798

There's a patch in the icedtea distribution that's a workaround .. it is 
to essentially do "export SHELL=/bin/bash" .. there is a shell script 
which generates that source file from a template, and that shell script 
doesn't behave right under the 'dash' in 8.04 which is the shell used on 
Ubuntu.  It behaves right in the dash in 7.10.

I don't really like that workaround because it is system-specific 
(requires that bash be installed). 

I haven't checked with the responsible engineer recently to see what his 
status is.
