Shark build passes TCK

[Gary Benson]

For the past few months the OpenJDK team at Red Hat has been working
to stabilize the Shark JIT compiler for HotSpot to the point where
IcedTea builds of OpenJDK using Shark are capable of passing the Java
SE 6 TCK.

As a result of this work I am pleased to announce that an IcedTea
build of OpenJDK using Shark has passed the Java SE 6 TCK and is
compatible with the Java SE 6 platform.

The test system was as follows:

 Operating system: Fedora 12, x86_64
 LLVM: http://llvm.org/releases/2.6/llvm-2.6.tar.gz,
   configured with: --with-pic --enable-pic
 IcedTea: http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6
   revision: 7674917fa451
   configured with: --enable-shark

This work was funded by Red Hat.
