BootStrapping Hell

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

Senusi,

I don't think it is feasible trying to build OpenJDK7 on a ppc mac. It 
might have been done, with lots of work, but it will definitely not work 
"out of the box" and will require substantial programming and system 
maintainence experience.

The run around i am gettting is driving me nuts. Please double check with what this page https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/BSDPort/Darwin9Build says. Is there something i am not seeing?
