UPDATE
The 'pre-running-make' sanity check had this:-

WARNING: You are not building the HOTSPOT sources.
         Hotspot libs will be obtained from 
         the location set in ALT_HOTSPOT_IMPORT_PATH. 



and ALT_HOTSPOT_IMPORT_PATH = /opt/jdk-6u24
The machine had  this /opt/jdk-6u24/jre/bin/java_vm

QUESTIONS:
--a) is  /opt/jdk-6u24/jre/bin/java_vm   equivalent to 'hotspot' used?
--b) how does one  build the  HOTSPOT sources for jdk7?  and will these 'hot 
spot' building give a needed jvm?
( I looked  through the build  file and there does not seem to be any obvious 
settings )

thanks in advance
