Hi,

  After a long 6 hour compile that ended in a failure on a plugin
target, I had a fresh native 1.4.1 image (with HotSpot no less!)
for my 4.7-stable box.  I've been running a couple of tomcat apps 
pretty heavily for the past few hours, and things seem stable, aside 
from a few DEBUG: signal messages[1].  Aside from apparent stability, 
the performance improvement over native 1.3.1 is about 600%.  
Nice work.

  Now, a nit... I tried building on a -current machine, but the
3.2.1 compiler bails early in the build of adlc, complaining of
numerous ostream operator link-errors.  I hacked around with 
this a bit, while the 4.7 box was building, but gave up after
I noticed that I could compile the same ostream<<(char) code 
that the build was complaining about.  Weird.

  In any case, kudos Alexey, for the fine work.  If there is any
legwork that I could do in getting 3.2.1 compiling on -current,
let me know; I'd be glad to help.
  
  I created a ports directory for the jdk14, and was wondering if 
it would be possible to distribute patchset 2 in .zip format, so
USE_ZIP could be set in the Makefile to extract both the scsl-src
and patchset, instead of having to _manually_ extract one of them.
If I'm missing some feature of the ports system that would allow
automatic extraction of both, please throw that cluestick at me :-)

  On the HotSpot note, is there any work being done on getting 1.3.1's
HotSpot working?  AFAIR, it would not build with 1.3.1-patchset-7.

cheers.

[1] one of these is signal 11, so if this is _the_ signal 11ôI'm
    familiar with, and you want to know how to duplicate, I could
    probably distill a testcase.
