Hi Andrew,

when I use build options --with-openjdk --without-rhino --disable-plugin
to build IcedTea6 from HEAD repository, build failed on RHEL 5 with this 
error message:

touch stamps/pulse-java.stamp
mkdir -p stamps
touch stamps/rewriter.stamp
make: *** No rule to make target `no', needed by 
`stamps/rewrite-rhino.stamp'.  Stop.


After removing --without-rhino option build seems ok.

Is it now necessary to always build IcedTea6 with Rhino? (and if yes 
should we remove this option from configure script?)

Pavel
