Is there a plan for getting them to properly merge? IMHO a difference
of only 25 files suggests that it should be perfectly possible for gcj
to use an out-of-the-box classpath build and merely prepend a custom
jar file containing those 25 files to the beginning of its
bootclasspath.
I agree that merging the bug databases is a step in the right
direction, but I share David's concern about merging the bug databases
without actually merging the codebases. If there's some kind of
concrete plan as to how a codebase merge is going to be achieved, it
might alleviate some of those concerns.
