For fun I have been trying to use OpenJDK (b13) as the bootstrap
for IcedTea.  To workaround the above problem I did this:

tmarble at ontologie:~/IcedTea/icedtea$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/classpath
tmarble at ontologie:~/IcedTea/icedtea$ which gjar
/usr/lib/classpath/gjar

I also had to make sure I had jamvm installed...

cd lib/rt ; \
	  /usr/lib/classpath/gjar cf rt.jar com gnu java javax sun
exec: 47: /usr/bin/jamvm: not found
make: *** [lib/rt/rt.jar] Error 2

(So all the Classpath & Friends are involved :)

tmarble at ontologie:~/IcedTea/icedtea$ ./configure --with-java=/home/tmarble/OpenJDK/openjdk/control/build/linux-i586/bin/java

I let it (like robogeek) download b12, but then got hung up
on an XML issue... I think this is because my gcj version is
tool old???

In any case thanks for your help with IcedTea!!!
