[Aurora-sparc-user] Linux vs. Solaris

[Scot P. Floess]

Sorry, icedtea is a neat/easy way to build Open JDK...  Unfortunately it 
requires gcj with the generics extension...  That's the part I was 
unable to get working.  On an x86 box it builds very easily...

I am hoping when Aurora reach Fedora 7 - it will just be simple to 
do...  As Fedora 7 x86 works with icedtea - no issues...
