icedtea-2.5pre02

[Andrew Hughes]

IcedTea HEAD has been updated to the tag icedtea-2.5pre02. This is likely
to be the last update before a 2.5 branch & forest are created and we
update to the latest upstream u60 (currently b03). A 2.5.0 release is
expected within the next month.

The main changes in this revision are:

* The ARM32 JIT now builds again. However, it crashes in most usage [0].
Therefore, it is disabled by default. To enable it, pass --enable-arm32-jit
to configure.
* PaX support [1] has been updated so that systems using extended attributes
to store PaX markers can now build IcedTea. Support for PaX is also now
included in the OpenJDK forest itself, obsoleting the patches IcedTea
was applying.
* We also can now drop the test_gamma bootstrap patch, as the PPC port
added a check to the test_gamma script which stops it from trying to
run on non-HotSpot JDKs.
