I'm curious why you changed from --bootclasspath to --CLASSPATH.

I read this and I think it is fine. Unfortunately I can't approve
compiler patches. However it looks like Alex is listening so
hopefully it will go in soon.
Won't we now need to update libjava/Makefile.am to use --CLASSPATH? I
think we do. Could you make this change? It is pre-approved once the
compiler change is ok (assuming it doesn't break the build or
something).
