That it isn't the HotSpot in the OpenJDK6 repository that's failing,
but that repository after merging in changesets from
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx16/master/ for our planned bump to
HotSpot 16.  Obviously it's not in the OpenJDK6 repository yet because
it doesn't build :D

If you want to give it a go, I've now made it available at
ssh://fuseyism.com/hg/hotspot -- enjoy the extra 512 changesets :-)
