Thanks a lot for your answer. I had a look at Guix and specifically this comment: https://github.com/ecbrown/guix/blob/master/gnu/packages/java.scm#L92 I see you use GNU Classpath as a bootstrap toolchain in order to build OpenJDK. In that process you need to build 0.93, then 0.99, then finally the "development" version (basically 0.99 plus a few additional commits). I understand that the above already does the job, and that GNU Classpath is not used in Guix anymore once OpenJDK is built. Is this correct?
