Build shark against llvm 3.0 on mac os x

Hi,

I tried to build shark against 3.0 on mac os x. I started with
repository http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-osx/, applied shark
llvm 3.0 patch mentioned here: http://labb.zafena.se/?p=459 and did
bunch of other adjustments. I made some progress before hitting the wall.
It began to complain something like "RicochetFrame is not a member of
MethodHandles". Unlike other cpus' methodHandles implementation,
hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/methodHandles_zero.hpp is just a placeholder,
which says:
   #define TARGET_ARCH_NYI_6939861 1

So, my question is that did anyone try to build shark on os x before? Any
suggestions?

And in ZeroSharkFaq wiki, there's a line says "Zero is currently
Linux- and GCC-specific". I begin to doubt whether my effort of
building shark on os x will do any good to openjdk community :)

Thanks,
Edward
