Looks ok so far. In particular, it seems that you're building with GNU Classpath as the class library. (The error that you posted earlier looks similar to RVM-925 which occurs when building with the Apache Harmony class library)

Just in case you don't know it already: if you want to change any compiler flags, you'll have to edit the appropriate file in build/hosts.

I don't have any ideas on what the underlying problem could be.

I can't give you much advice on debugging the problem:
- you can try to use various verbosity options (e.g. -X:verbose, -verbose, -X:verboseBoot) but they're probably not very useful because the problem seems to occur quite early
- you can run the bootimage runner code with gdb by using "rvm -gdb". Note that this won't help if you need to debug code from the bootimage because debug symbols will be missing. In that case, use a prototype* or Base* configuration and build with "rvm.debug-symbols=true"
- in general, you might also want to take a look at rdb, a debugger that was developed specifically for the Jikes RVM ( http://sape.inf.usi.ch/rdb )

If you don't want to debug this problem, you could try to build in a Linux virtual machine.


Kind regards,
