Hmmm, doko had the same failure on Ubuntu a few days ago.  It looks
like it ran and and compiled a ton of stuff already, so it's actually
quite promising, but that's me being all glass-half-full ;)

Since it's in floating point code I'm suspicious it might be the bug
that http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/tip/patches/icedtea-ia64-bugfix.patch
removes the fix for.  I'll ask on one of the HotSpot lists.

Cheers,
Gary
