JDK 8 Linking error on Fedora 16

[David Bosschaert]

Hi all,

This is probably a bit of a n00b question. However someone here might
know the answer to this.
When I try to build JDK 8 on Fedora 16 I'm getting the link error below.
The environment variables I have set are:
  ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true
  ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk
  LANG=C

BTW I do have the latest libstdc++ installed:
  $ sudo yum install libstdc++
  Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
  Setting up Install Process
  Package libstdc++-4.6.2-1.fc16.i686 already installed and latest version
  Nothing to do

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

David
