Hey Paul, it feels so good to see I'm not alone in the dark! By yesterday evening levels of frustration rose so high I scrapped everything and re-cloned the two repositories. I managed to downgrade to jdk7-b38 and build everything successfully. I didn't apply the callcc patch, BTW. Now I feel even stupider, as I have a 'java' command that accepts '-XX:+InvokeDynamic' (yay!), but I can't find java.dyn.Dynamic & co anywhere. The example John sent on this list (http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/mlvm-dev/2008-August/000174.html) suggests something should be added to the boot classpath, but unfortunately he uses an environment variable that hides what it is. > hg revert --all -r jdk7-b38 Hmm...

I hear that might be a bad idea: some patches (like anonk) have been promoted to the upstream repository. > Unfortunately I hurt my neck yesterday and I think this email is about all the > computing I'm going to be able to manage today.
