I'm happy to report that both classlib and drlvm at r474892 build on
x86_64/em64t
As Gregory suggested, I had to change the symlinks to from
/usr/lib/lib(jpeg|png).a to /usr/lib/lib(jpeg|png).so in order for the
link to avoid complaining.
Well Geir insists that we should know what we are linking against, so he
prefers static libraries. I don't like it very much (it is contrary to
Gentoo way :) which is to link against anything which is installed on
the system by the user) but I can understand this POV.
The problem is that on many distributions static libs are built without
-fPIC and while on x86 it may still work ok, on x86_64 it definitely
doesn't work. So if we decide that we should use static linking we'll
have to check in prebuilt the binaries into classlib source tree just
like we did with ICU (although ICU libraries are dynamic, not shared). I
see no other way to do static linking.
It would be great if somebody could fix the build and do that
automatically (or tell me where to do it).
Now, I've tried "ant test" in classlib and I get
compile-tests:
[echo] Compiling ACCESSIBILITY tests
[javac] Compiling 8 source files to

which is pretty weird since junit was already fetched.
Am I the only one seeing this?
