still no fun with invokedynamic

[Jochen Theodorou]

hi all,

I am in urgend need of an actual VM with MethodHandles, but this is as 
always quuite complicated. This time I created a chroot envrionment for 
32 bit, that was where I last time had to stop. I managed to get it 
compiled by the patch that was provided here 5 months ago and finally 
had a VM to run. So I did:

davinci/sources/jdk/build/linux-i586/bin/java 
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+EnableMethodHandles 
-XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic FidgetDemo

and got:
> 
> #

> #
> #  Internal Error (methodHandles.cpp:98), pid=8548, tid=4149795728

No idea why this fails like this. What I now need is either a workaround 
for this problem here, or a running JVM with method handles that I can 
download somewhere. As long as it is linux it should be fine, whatever 
it is.

Who can help me here?
