>Description:
 * configure should create the full java and gnu trees in
   the build directory; if not, build will fail if not
   building in the source tree.

 * libjava includes a seriously outdated version of zip,
    which does not properly support LFN-based filesystems.
   Using a more recent version (2.3h or higher) should
    solve this.
>How-To-Repeat:
- configure outside source tree
- build zip on MSDOS system (with LFN)
>Fix:
- Have configure create the full java and gnu trees
- Include zip 2.3h or higher in the distribution
>Release-Note:

>Audit-Trail:

 I don't understand what you mean here. What do you mean by "not building
 in the source tree"? I regularly (always, actually) build libgcj in a
 separate "build" directory from the source tree.

 Thanks - I will investigate importing a newer version of zip into the
 tree.

 Can you explain what you mean by this?

 Could you tell me how it fails?
 It definitely does work for me.

State-Changed-Why:
    I'm closing this PR.
    
    For the first part of the PR, we don't understand the
    meaning and there's been no response for a while.
    
    For the second part of the PR, we are going to ditch
    zip and start using fastjar in the not-too-distant future.
    (This is a requirement for merging libgcj into the gcc
    tree.)
