I haven't looked too closely at the changes, but instead I'm trying to build 
them. I've pulled the latest JDK 8 TL forest and the patches applied cleanly. 
I'm now trying to build the forest.

It builds langtools, corba, jaxp, and jaxws successfully. Then it tries to 
build hotspot. It links the vm, links the launcher, and then...

-------
Doing vm.make build:
All done.
cd bsd_amd64_compiler2/product && ./test_gamma
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NullPointerException
         at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:432)
         at java.lang.System.initProperties(Native Method)
         at java.lang.System.initializeSystemClass(System.java:1115)
-------

Are there any Mac patches I need to apply to hotspot to get this to work?

For my boot JDK I'm using a recent 7u4 build I did for myself a couple days 
ago. Is this the right thing to use?
