Yeah, I find it very frustrating too. You'd have thought Sun would
jump at a chance to get their 'unversal platform' on  as many
platforms as possible - by rights NetBSD should be beating them back
with sticks...

Would it be worthwhile to go for a source-only package along the:
'complete the scsl form, manually get the source and patches and
build' approach FreeBSD uses for the 1.3 code?

Actually, does anyone know of a similar project with the 1.4 code
(it was on the SCSL site next to 1.3.1 yesterday)? By the time Sun
approve 1.3, 1.5 will probably be out anyway :)

I'm doing this currently - the FreeBSD patchset seems to work very well
apart from 2 issues (so far):

1) parts of the jvm source can't seem to see gc.h which causes
the compile to fail. I fixed this very clumsily by replacing
#include "gc.h"
with
#include </full/path/to/gc.h>
in half a dozen files.

2) when the build tries to compile CORBA, it can't seem to
find the class 'FullValueDescriptionHelper' and dies
(see error below) - still banging my head against that one, if
anyone fixed it please could them let me know...

I had thought of omitting CORBA from the build but I want to run
JBOSS under this JVm, so I'll need the RMI-IIOP libraries...
