New build system - from scratch experiences

Hi - this isn't (yet) a cry for help, just a set of things I found as I 
was trying to set up to build JDK7 with the new build system. Some are 
pretty minor, some are just annoying.  I'm happy to repeat any of these 
with VERBOSE=.

I'm not yet familiar with the build system, but I'll take a whack at 
trying to debug the issues.

Mike



I'm running this on Win 7 64, in Cygwin.    The configure command I used 
was:

   ./configure --with-jvm-variant=client 
--with-freetype=/cygdrive/c/freetype --with-memory-size=8192 \
          --disable-javac-multi-core --disable-javac-deps 
--disable-javac-server \
          --with-boot-jdk=/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/Java/JDK17~1.0_0

I found a number of issues, only one of which I'm not able to work 
around quite yet  - (4) below.

1) ./configure -help gives "--with-memorysize", actual argument is 
"--with-memory-size".  Help text is missing the second dash.

2) After configuring, typing make results in the following error: (See 
below at >>> for my fix).

3) The first time through (after fixing (2) above), the build fails at 
the place noted below, but re-running make fixes the problem.

4) after (3) above completes successfully, doing a "make images" fails 
with (and this is where I'm stuck).  Strangely, the rt_jar_list file 
exists at the location.:

5) "make clean" followed by "make" fails.  Apparently "make clean" is 
erasing too many files.
