Are you sure you're getting the right compilers? I haven't said this
yet, but I found I had to hack harder to override them:
--------
export ALT_COMPILER_PATH=$(pwd -P)/ALT_COMPILER_PATH/
--------
ls -la ALT_COMPILER_PATH/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 5 jrose staff 170 Oct 3 16:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 30 jrose staff 1020 Oct 7 14:30 ..
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jrose staff 8 Oct 3 16:58 .SOURCE -> /usr/bin
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jrose staff 15 Oct 3 16:59 g++ -> .SOURCE/g++-4.0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jrose staff 15 Oct 3 16:59 gcc -> .SOURCE/gcc-4.0
--------
Maybe that's your problem too? (And maybe there's a better way than
mine to fix it?) Basically, the forest-level makefile does not
respect those environment variables, although the hotspot repo.
makefiles do. It's confusing, but apparently the forest-level
makefiles refer to the jdk repo. makefiles, which in turn have the
names "gcc", "g++" hard-coded, and require a setting to
ALT_COMPILER_PATH to override.
I think the philosophy here (Kelly O'Hair would know for sure) is to
minimize the environmental inputs to the makefiles, making them be
clearly marked, hence the "ALT_" convention.

Hi guys,
Sorry I'm adding more to this (as some of you seem to have it working
now) but I'm trying to round up the process of successfully building
Java 7 on Snow Leopard into one place so it can put on a wiki or
blogged or something.
