FYI, I'm working on a new build scenario, where each class is compiled
individually, ordered based on dependencies. This is more akin to the
way C projects are built, rather than the brute force method that is
currently being employed. This results in compile time of minutes
instead of hours, and should make the choice of compilers pretty much a
non-issue. (As a bonus, it doesn't lock up my poor old P75 either ;))
I've currently gotten the java.lang package and sub-packages (as well as
gnu.vm.stack and gnu.java.lang, on which it depends) and java.util to
compile. Work in java.io is in progress.
I'll post the diffs once I can get the entire classpath project to
build.
