Unable to compile IcedTea with CACAO under Fedora 17

Was this a build with CACAO? That seems to be the problem....32bit builds with CACAO.

I understand that your SheevaPlug will take a long time. I initially attempted the build with a Raspberry Pi, and it took two weeks before I reached the failure point. That's why I've decided that I won't attempt it again until I can successfully build CACAO on a 32bit x86 platform, since it's much faster. Until that can be accomplished, I don't see the point in compiling for ARM.
Just to restate, I can successfully build icedtea7 on 32bit x86 (Fedora 17), but cannot if I include CACAO.

I'm not currently used the armhf distro, but I believe it is just starting to peek its head around the corner at Seneca College.
