Right, if Roman is running SPECjvm98 for benchmark purposes (as opposed 
to using it as part of a quality test run) then upgrading javac means it 
would be a different benchmark. However some change (maybe 
-bootclasspath as you suggest) is required because it seems to be an 
older version of javac that doesn't know anything about the new runtime 
image.
