I think I gave you everything now, If this is a duplicate I apologize, I did search.
You built icedtea with the cacao USE flag. Don't do that.
Out of curiosity, why not? How about jamvm?
(In reply to deference from comment #6) > Out of curiosity, why not? > How about jamvm? CACAO dates back to before Java was open sourced. It's not terrible and offers a reasonable degree of compatibility. It's not perfect though and I have encountered some rather awful bugs in it, some of which I have had fixed upstream. In this case, it only failed because configure didn't find the "64-bit" string in its version output. Who knows, it might have worked otherwise? It's now only useful for platforms that lack a native HotSpot port and Gentoo no longer supports Java on any of those platforms since we dropped ppc. It doesn't support Java 8 and I doubt it ever will so it will fade away soon. I know less about JamVM but it is still relatively maintained and does support Java 8. It's much slower than HotSpot and CACAO though so you shouldn't use it unless you have to. It may prove useful in allowing icedtea-3 to be built without a prerequisite JVM. I have thought about masking both these flags but since icedtea-3 supports neither of them, they'll be going away along with Java 7 eventually anyway.
