Maybe this was just the tipping point for your setup?
Is it possible that the last Classpath imports caused this to break for me (and others), since we added some new modules? I gave your patch a try on two of my test boxes, and indeed just reverting that one change didn't unbreak the build for me. (I saw, and appreciate, HJ's GNU make patches, but these may take a long time to appear in any official release.) Is there any other way to address the problem during installation? Perhaps by splitting the package set into two partitions and processing these separately or something along these lines? Gerald
