Hrm... That's not what I saw hapenning, which is how I wound up down that 
road.   I'd go back and build again to check it out, but one build is an all 
day process.

Which brings me to another issue ;-)  For an embedded system with no display 
and no network support it just takes up space to build awt / swing / etc 
classes.    These groups of classes are tacked onto the end of 
'ordinary_java_source_files'.   Is it advisable to make a change such as

@NATIVE_TRUE@awt_SOURCES = $(awt_java_source_files)
java_source_files = ... $(awt_SOURCES)

?

Which brings me to another point.   When building from a 'stock' GCC 
distribution everything (including .java files) are recompiled many times 
(ca, le, nof, und).   Is there a particular reason that the .class files 
need to be built so many times?

Thanks and Regards,
Peter
