IcedTea release tree (1.5, 1.6) patches

[Andrew John Hughes]

I've just pushed a fix from Andrew Haley to the 1.5 and 1.6 release
trees which ensures debuginfo is turned on through the JDK

http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea6-1.5/rev/98d260aaa04b
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea6-1.6/rev/cc49b25f85f4

This is not required for HEAD, where the superior upstream version
(DEBUG_BINARIES) is already in place.

I did notice some issues when building these trees.  On newer systems,
1.5 fails due to a clash with execvpe in glibc (fixed in 1.6 by
patches/openjdk/icedtea-rename-execvpe.patch) and 1.6 fails due to the
X11 update issue (and presumably 1.5 would too if it got this far).

Is it safe to backport the patches for these?  The failures are
unlikely to occur on the systems packaging these older versions, but
it's going to make it hard for us to test any further updates.

This of course also depends on a prospective 1.7 release that I just
posted about.  We certainly need to make 1.6 buildable if it's going
to continue to be the primary release much longer and receive security
updates.
