IcedTea6 compilation problems

[Guido Kämper]

Thanks for all the hints,

the solution was to not write the whole arguments list with a /bin/cat  
after the compile statement, but use the -@ option of jar. David  
Walluck had the idea, thanks!

eg.

less rt_jar_list | jar c0mf ......manifest.tmp ......rt-orig.jar  
-..further options -@

or

jar c0mf .....manifest.tmp ......rt-orig.jar @rt_jar_list -..further  
options

for details see man pages of jar command. Maybe the @File command  
should be included in the make files.

cu,
Guido
