I was referring only to the name of the patch, as I am planning on doing
for 1.9 locally, but it doesn't matter now as you've already put in a
smaller (better) fix in both 1.9 and 1.10 (as quoted above) which works
great BTW.  Sorry I hadn't replied on that yet, haven't had a chance to
test with GCJ, but that was already done anyway.

Pavel's fix and additionally creating a populated cacerts file (which
Pavel was working on back in May) has reduced the number of failures
considerably.  On the second fix, I've written a bash script to account
for both CADIR and CAFILE.  AC check accounts for distros who's certs I
know about. ATM that would be RedHat and Debian derivatives, and BLFS,
but if you look at the check, it should easily extended.  If you all
would be interested in a single upstream solution that accounts for both
certificates directory and a single bundle file, feel free (attached).
I did the check for the files unconditionally, as I wasn't exactly sure
how to (properly) do a conditional check based on another (where if
--genertate-cacerts should be set yes by another switch).  Additionally,
the mkcacerts.sh script could be written much differently (and probably
better/faster in perl rather than bash/sed/grep but it should in account
for both variants from the command line).

Is there a central place to share and view previous test results, or
just search the distro-pkg-dev and openjdk-dev lists?
