Icedtea6 on OSUNIX (OpenSolaris-like)

[C.]

With a ton of help from the guys in #openjdk I must give a big thanks 
for an almost fully open bootstrap of Icedtea6.  I budged on the C/C++ 
compiler (cc: Sun Ceres C 5.10 SunOS_i386 2009/03/06) and also 
introduced libCrun.so.1 dep)

Not sure if anyone cares, but the short version is that I've been 
building a *fully* OpenSolaris technology distro.  Parts of core 
onnv-gate require jdk/javac which I didn't have until yesterday.  So now 
I can remove those patches and in theory build the full onnv-gate.

wiki/docs/patches/packages forthcoming..

One question...

I don't have the time this week to throughly test the results of a 
toolchain/compiler change, but interested in any feedback from those who 
have tested gcc-4.4 (prerelease/RC) and llvm.  Specifically, does it 
build, patches and if anyone has benchmarked to compare the 
differences.  Failing all that I'm interested in a possible laundry list 
of apps/benchmarks which could serve as a reference point.

Really big thanks!
