java compiler error while running JVM 2008 ( compiler benchmark )

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Ednap,
What kind of error you are getting?

In any case keep in mind that the compiler included in the SPEC JVM 2008 
suite is not the same as 'our' javac. That explain the differences when 
you launch javac -version. I recently saw a similar failure (originally 
attributed to javac :-) ) with SPEC JVM 2008 - here's a link to the bug:

If that's your problem that's likely to be a bug in the C2 Hotspot compiler.
