libjava build failure with read-only source tree

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich at suse dot com>]

When the source tree (including its directories) is read-only I get

rm: cannot remove `asm/org/objectweb/asm/xml/ASMContentHandler$LineNumberRule.class': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `asm/org/objectweb/asm/xml/ASMContentHandler$ExceptionsRule.class': Permission denied
... (hundreds of similar messages)

make[4]: *** [tools.zip] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-target-libjava] Error 2

as an obvious result of using 

	cp -pR $(srcdir)/asm .
	cp -pR $(srcdir)/classes .

in the commands of the $(TOOLS_ZIP) rule.

This is the change I'm currently checking whether it will overcome the
problem:

--- a/libjava/classpath/tools/Makefile.am
+++ b/libjava/classpath/tools/Makefile.am

+	find asm classes -type d -exec chmod u+w \{\} \;
 	if [ -d asm/.svn ]; then \
 	  find asm classes -depth -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf \{\} \;; \
 	fi

As this isn't the first time I encounter this in the libjava subtree, can it
be made a requirement for testing changes that they must work with
fully read-only source trees? And/or if there's some sort of automatic
testing in place, could that be adjusted to include a respective check?
