The java.dyn classes are in $davinci/patches/jdk/meth.patch, and your  
transcript shows that they are being included.  There's a missing  
patch to the makefiles and class lists which control the construction  
of rt.jar.

I haven't worked this out because to date I've always done incremental  
builds via netbeans and put the resulting jar on the boot class path.

Does anyone happen to know where are the cut points for putting the  
new packages and class files into the makefiles?  I'm looking at  
java.math for a model:
   $davinci/sources/jdk/...
     make/java/math/Makefile
     make/tools/sharing/classlist.linux
     make/tools/sharing/classlist.windows
