Problem building OpenJDK on a set-top box

[Gary Benson]

Hi Olivier,

OpenJDK does indeed require java to build, but that aside there
is the issue that HotSpot does not support the sh4 processor.
Check out IcedTea instead (http://icedtea.classpath.org/) which
has a) the ability to bootstrap with gcj, and b) support for
building on platforms with no HotSpot support.

Cheers,
Gary
