-    <p>
-    This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
-    "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
-    Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
-    bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
-    of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
-    These usually represent what is often called the
-    least common denominator platforms.
-    It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these 
-    specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
-    may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.
-    <p>

-    OpenJDK:

-    is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
-    command line and various
-    environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
-    to where various components have been installed.
-    Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
-    components in the default locations or any component specific 
-    variable settings.
-    When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
-    the various
-    <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
-    can be used to help the makefiles locate components.
-    <p>
-    Refer to the bash/sh/ksh setup file
-    <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
-    if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
-    A build could be as simple as:
-    <blockquote>
-        <pre><tt>
-                bash
-                . jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh

-        </tt></pre>
-    </blockquote>
-    <p>
-    Of course ksh or sh would work too.
-    But some customization will probably be necessary.
-    The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build
-    dependencies and generate appropriate warning messages
-    regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components
-    found on your system.

-        <li>
-            <strong>Linux:</strong>
-            The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
-        </li>
-        <li>
-            <strong>Solaris:</strong>
-            Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
-            If your Solaris system has the software
-            from the Solaris Companion CD installed, 
-            you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
-            which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or 
-            <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
-        </li>
-        <li>
-            <strong>Windows:</strong>
-            Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell.
-            <br>
-            <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may

-<h4><a name="paths">Windows Paths</a></h4>
-
-<blockquote>
-    <p>
-    <strong>Windows:</strong>
-    Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
-    heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
-    of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
-    Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
-    there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that 
-    contains spaces.
-    Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
-    formula is difficult to explain.
-    You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
-    or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
-    (called 'mixed'), e.g.
-    <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
-    <p>
-    The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
-    to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
-    <p>
-    Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
-    setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
-    the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
-    separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
-    With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
-    cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version  of <tt>PATH</tt> and
-    instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
-    which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
-    So be careful with paths on Windows.

-        For build performance reasons

-
-<blockquote>
-    <p>
-    A build can fail for any number of reasons. 
-    Most failures
-    are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
-    pre-build requirements have not been met. 
-    The first step in
-    troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
-    all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
-    Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
-    <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
-    
-    <p>
-    You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
-    target.
-    Any errors listed
-    will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
-    a flawed product build.
-    We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
-    sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
-    further with your build.
-    
-    <p>
-    Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
-    below, with suggestions for remedies.
-

-        <li>
-            <b>Slow Builds:</b>
-            <blockquote>
-                <p>
-                If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
-                simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
-                variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
-                machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
-                not a good idea).
-                <p>
-                Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
-                javadoc, consider skipping that step.
-                <p>
-                Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
-                The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
-                and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
-                <p>
-                Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
-                <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/">ccache</a>.

-            <b>File time issues:</b>
-            <blockquote>
-                <p>
-                If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
-                <blockquote>
-                    <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
-                    the future.</tt>
-                    <br>
-                    <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
-                    be incomplete.</tt> 
-                </blockquote>
-                <p>
-                These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
-                sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
-                unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
-                the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
-                fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
-                For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
-                version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
-                when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
-                in the 1.4 source code.
-                <p>
-                If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
-                machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
-                containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

-            <blockquote>
-                This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
-                This is installed as part of a specific package
-                (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
-                By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
-                only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package.
-                Various parts of the JDK build require a static
-                link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
-                portability of the built images.
