Successfully building 32- and 64-bit OpenJDK 8 on WinXP/64bit with free tools only

[Ben Evans]

Hi Henri,

Stephen Bannasch produces OSX builds as tarballs, and posts about them
on mlvm-dev.

They aren't .dmg-based installers, so people have to understand how to
integrate them manually (and e.g. set JAVA_HOME) to use them, but I've
managed to use them from the command line very successfully.

The latest one is:

http://www.concord.org/~sbannasch/mlvm/java-1.8.0-internal-mlvm-2011_10_22.tar.gz

Stephen - could you perhaps post news of your builds to these
mailgroups as well?

Thanks,

Ben
