Alan,
In this context, javac.jar does not so much contain "a utility for
transforming .java files .class files" as much as "a significant body
of open source code suitable for testing the performance of a JVM".
In that context, it would not be appropriate to change javac.jar more
than necessary.
Right, if Roman is running SPECjvm98 for benchmark purposes (as opposed
to using it as part of a quality test run) then upgrading javac means it
would be a different benchmark. However some change (maybe
-bootclasspath as you suggest) is required because it seems to be an
older version of javac that doesn't know anything about the new runtime
image.
