Im looking into the current zero fails to build from source issue in icedtea7.

By using ChrisPhi's HS23 patch we can get the zero libjvm.so compiled and linked.
http://integral-portal.lgonqn.org/temp/ChrisPhi/hsx23-zero--/webrev/

When I take this produces libjvm.so and place it into a complete icedtea7 build i can verify that zero runs as well!

Unfortunately the icedtea7 zero build stop before finish since libjsig.so are not produced for zero builds and the hotspot makefiles expect it to be.

This makefile needs to be patched.
