Replying to [comment:2 dj@…]:
DJ, thanks for the comments , and apologies for this late response. As I
wrote some days ago, I was busy with LFS "7.2-svn" build, so stopped all
other related activities.

Almost, but strictly, they need modifications, as I said before. One of
the following would do it:
a. Stating clearly that the following packages
corba.tar.gz hotspot.tar.gz jaxp.tar.gz jaxws.tar.gz jdk.tar.gz
langtools.tar.gz openjdk.tar.gz
which are hosted by anduin, are no more "good", and "make" will download
the correct ones.
b. Removing
corba.tar.gz hotspot.tar.gz jaxp.tar.gz jaxws.tar.gz jdk.tar.gz
langtools.tar.gz openjdk.tar.gz
anduin downloads and related cp -v ... commands associated with them, and,
again, comment that "make" will download them.
In both cases, I believe that dependencies will change, perhaps wget or
curl will be necessary. Also, some comments about storing them locally, if
the user is planning to build it again, is recommendable.
A side effect is that the build process will look simpler.

greatly.

I will try (probably tomorrow) to run the tests.

> As to the difference in size, I follow the distro-pkg-dev list and know
that the debug flags are global now (this was changed upstream in
OpenJDK), but I do not know what the new switch is in IcedTea's configure
script to control it

Before I run the tests, I will try to figure this out.

use the normal strip commands to get the size back down to expected
values.

Thank you very much indeed! I have done it:
[[BR]][[BR]]
# find /opt/OpenJDK-1.7.0.7 -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
[[BR]][[BR]]
$ du -sch /opt/OpenJDK-1.7.0.*[[BR]]
131M /opt/OpenJDK-1.7.0.7 [stripped][[BR]]
455M /opt/OpenJDK-1.7.0.7-big [original][[BR]]
585M total[[BR]]
Comparing with 247M of /opt/OpenJDK-1.7.0.5, it is probably better to
strip after it is checked to work properly, than build without debug? Or
it is more economic in some senses building without the debug symbols?
