Hi,
When building the JDK, a bit of time is spent building rt.jar, and I
think this may be really evident on the non x86/x86_64 archs. So ...
I've recently added a new option to ./configure:
--with-alt-jar=</path/to/jar>. This uses the specified jar command
instead of using the bootstrap jar via the jvm. I've tested this out
with fastjar (a modified, more openjdk-compatible fastjar -- I still
have to post the patch...) and here are the results:
x86_64 regular build: 15m 53s
x86_64 --with-alt-jar=/usr/loca/bin/fastjar: 12m 51s
x86 regular build: 47m 58s
x86 --with-alt-jar=/usr/loca/bin/fastjar: 41m 21s
I'm kinda curious to see how much faster builds go on the other platforms :)
Cheers,
Josh
