Hi,

This adds the hotspot eclipse crasher patch that many people seem to
have encountered.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6614100

Since our build selects a different hotspot depending on whether we
build with zero or not there are two copies of the patch (unfortunately
all files were reformatted between the 6b06 and 7b24 hotspot).

2008-06-08  Mark Wielaard  <mark at klomp.org>

   * Makefile.am (ZERO_PATCHES): Add
   patches/icedtea-eclipse-hotspot-6614100-7b24.patch.
   (NON_ZERO_PATCHES): New patch list.
   (ZERO_PATCHES_COND): Use new NON_ZERO_PATCHES list when necessary.
   * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
   * patches/icedtea-eclipse-hotspot-6614100-7b24.patch: New patch.
   * patches/icedtea-eclipse-hotspot-6614100-6b06.patch: New patch.

Extra testing appreciated. This should make the eclipse workarounds that
some distros are adding (-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,...) unnecessary.

If there are other crasher bug fixes since hotspot 6b06 and/or 7b24 that
would benefit a lot of people please point them out, test them and
suggest them for inclusion.

Thanks,

Mark
