Ok. Good.

No it doesn't. File a report please. (me is only a porter, know nothing 
about java, anyway I think it has to do with compiler internals and not 
directly with java.)
As a side note. At the moment the libjava build breaks under 
i686-apple-darwin. The last good revision is 122040.
So do not upgrade if you want to test real java code :)
I'll try to tackle the failure:
/usr/bin/ld: java/.libs/lang.o has external relocation entries in 
non-writable section (__TEXT,__text) for symbols:
java::lang::Class* java::lang::Class::forName(java::lang::String*, 
java::lang::Class*)
It is showing up since 122041, but I guess it has nothing to do with the 
patch itself. It only 'uncovers' an i686-apple-darwin stub problem....
