Hi Greg,

icedtea7 still picks up an old version of CACAO. My attempts at
getting the most recent changes in got stuck in progress (through my
own fault, I must add).

At the moment, this should work:

- get icedtea7 from https://bitbucket.org/Ringdingcoder/icedtea7
- merge with current icedtea7 if necessary/desired
- check out CACAO from http://mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at/hg/cacao/
- add --with-cacao-src-dir=<cacao_checkout> to your icedtea configure options
- I /think/ you should also specify --disable-bootstrap

Cheers
