native2ascii high CPU building jdk7u?

[Wang Weijun]

JDK 6 is the bootdir the build process automatically chooses. If I set ALT_BOOTDIR to a 7u there is no such problem.

With JDK 6 it's always reproducible, "jstack -F -m -l nnnnn" also hungs. Neither the build nor jstack can be stopped by Ctrl-C and I have to kill native2ascii again.
