Wondering if it would be a big deal to add --enable-cacao to openjdk since building cacao jvm recommends openjdk to built with it.

PKGBUILD patch attached. It breaks the build here:

/build/src/icedtea-2.3.2/openjdk.build/tmp/java/java.lang/java/obj64/Thread.o:(.data.rel+0x178): undefined reference to `JVM_SetNativeThreadName'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[6]: *** [/build/src/icedtea-2.3.2/openjdk.build/lib/amd64/libjava.so] Error 1

Please try to find a fix.

this may be worth examining http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-March/005873.html
though it seems to ignore ALT_HOTSPOT_IMPORT_PATH ALT_BOOTDIR ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH when i add those to the PKGBUILD pointing to the preinstalled jdk

as i gather from the make logs, its using java1.6 to bootstrap?

Debian apparently builds it fine but i cannot for the life of me decipher its cryptic build rules or what its doing.

there must be an incompatibility atm with latest openjdk7 and this "latest" cacao zipfile from feburary. It builds fine on openjdk6.

java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (1.11.4) (ArchLinux-6.b24_1.11.4-2-x86_64)
CACAO (build 1.1.0pre2, compiled mode)

Please bring this to the distro-pkg-dev@openjdk.java.net mailing list.

Does Cacao VM have major advantages over Hotspot VM on our supported architectures (i686/x86_64)?
