Hi Marty,

I've no idea what openembedded is. There are two cross-compilation 
stories with OpenJDK. One is what is done externally as part of IcedTea 
etc and I have no knowledge of that.

The other is the cross-compilation support that we use for our embedded 
SE product. To utilise that you need to set:

CROSS_COMPILE_ARCH=...  // must be set!
ALT_COMPILER_PATH=<path to your cross compiler>

See the top-level README-builds.html for more details.
