Linux PPC build failures

[Steve Poole]

hi guys -  just done a complete fresh clone and build of linux ppc 7  on  REL6.

I initially hit a problem with the stack size for javac building corba  which I fixed.

/home/spoole/boot/jdk1.7.0-ppc-aix-port-b01/bin/javac  -J-XX:ThreadStackSize=1536 -J-XX:-PrintVMOptions -J-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -J-XX:-LogVMOutput -J-Xmx512m -J-Xms512m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=160m -encoding ascii -source 6 -target 6 -d /home/spoole/repos/aix-ppc/jdk7u/build/linux-ppc64/../linux-ppc64-debug/corba/btclasses \
	    -sourcepath ../../tools/src ../../tools/src/build/tools/stripproperties/StripProperties.java

The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 1856k
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.



Now I've hit another problem

Are these problems you've seen too?    I don't want to go digging if you already know about them :-)
