Thanks Joern. I'm bootstrapping an updated snapshot of the tree now.
The sizes of the types (8 bits for boolean, 16 bits for char and short, 32
bits for int, 64 bits for long, etc.) in Java are mandated by the Java
Language Specification (JLS).
This aside, the 22 hours bit for the testsuite is worrisome.
Is it hanging somewhere or is just so slow? You might want
to take this issue up in a separate thread.
Thanks,
Ranjit.
