Build b08 of OpenJDK 6 has been posted for download:
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/

This new drop addresses all the suspect binary files under the src and 
make directories as well as some of the ones under test.  I've updated 
the bug [1] with some more details.  We are also continuing to work on 
making the licensing of the remaining binary files in the test directory 
more transparent.
