status of the zero port in openjdk7?

[Matthias Klose]

Trying to build zero from the icedtea 2.4.3 release, I only see a successful
build on powerpc and ppc64.  The builds on i686, x86_64, arm (both hard- and
soft-float), aarch64, mips, mipsel do fail.  Was anybody successful to build on
one of these architectures?

 - the i686 and x86_64 builds do hang in the test_gamma check, done
   during the stage1 build.

 - the mips and mipsel builds fail with a vm crash when running the
   TestCryptoLevel check in stage1.
   Although the build did fail in 2.3.x before too.

 - the arm and aarch64 builds seem to hang in the TestCryptoLevel
   check in stage1. When skipping this check the build fails
   in the java -version check when starting stage2.

My s390 and s390x builds did fail for other reasons.

So the only successful builds are on ppc 32bit and 64bit. Wondering what made
these successful ...
