"Sync up" with what exactly??

There hasn't been a 7u release since the 28th of August, 2012:
  http://jdk7.java.net/source.html

2.3.12 is synced with the last u25 tag in the OpenJDK repositories but clearly
this doesn't include whatever fix is required either.

There is a 2.4.1 release of IcedTea which is tracking u40 development, but that
still hasn't been officially released yet.
