--- Comment #2 from Nicholas Hardison <nicholas.hardison@gmail.com> ---
It isn't practical to recompile the jdk in this environment due to its loca=
tion
on a shared filesystem (with a bunch of other stuff) and need to be able to
continue running the 8.2 systems as I do the upgrades (a multi-stage process
that happens over a period of months, during which work must go on).

I started working in this freebsd environment back when it was running 4.8,=
 and
the binary compatibility has been a major selling point of FreeBSD through
upgrades since then (though my regression tests don't cover product versions
from that long ago - iirc we don't need it _quite_ that far back).  Being a=
ble
to replace the environment with new systems that can still run the old
toolchains keeps me from having to keep and support my current set of 8.2
servers for X more years (they're too old as it is - ironically one of the
reasons I could finally justify upgrading is the need to run a _new_ jdk).
