Self-built JDK has troubles reading jar-files

[Kelly O'Hair]

If it is complaining about libjsig.so,
then you need this changeset in the jdk7/jdk repository.

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/8885b2256507

The Makefile jdk7/jdk/make/java/redist/Makefile is the jdk
Makefile that copies the hotspot build into a jdk image.
There was some recent changes in hotspot that required a
change in this jdk makefile.

A fresh master forest should build ok, if it doesn't I need to look
further.
Where did you get the forest from?
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7  ???
