Hi, and thanks for the answers.
Yes, I have already made a full build. Is there any documentation for 
the build process? My understanding is that openjdk-ecj is built first, 
and then openjdk is built using openjdk-ecj build for bootstrapping, and 
that modifications of the hotspot are therefore preferably made in the 
openjdk directory. Is this correct?
