Because I'm in the process of adding an extension to this version (1.4 required) of the Java VM. Therefore I need to compile the code of the VM . Therefore I need a compiler...

Fired up my workstation, screwed up an unneeded Windows-partition, installed Solaris 10 x86 + Sun Studio 11 compilers, put the J2SE code on the filesystem, compiled it, works, problem solved...
