      Description

        It's a pain to bootstrap a hotspot build on a linux system where no jdk exists.
        Naive attempts to build hotspot will just fail. Historically, we've hacked
        a bootstrap build when doing a port. That's no longer adequate now that people
        outside Sun want to do ports.
