Ok, I understand what's going on now. On OS X, the shipped javac knows
how to find the Java system classes automatically, but the shipped
jikes executable (in /usr/bin/jikes) doesn't - it needs to be told via
JAVA_CLASSPATH.

Since we pick up jikes by preference, we need to fix the JAVA_CLASSPATH
logic to find the system classes on Darwin.

However, the patch doesn't work for me. I don't have JAVA_HOME set,
which means that $JDK is correctly set to /Library/Java/Home from the
start, and so the fixup logic you changed doesn't run.

Since the 'JRE lib dir' is always in the same place on Darwin (or, more
accurately, we have no better guesses for where it might be located),
why not set $JRE_LIB_DIR unconditionally on Darwin (we'll only use it
for jikes-enabled builds, of course)?

Updated patch attached. I can confirm that it appears to fix 'make
javahl' for me on OS X 10.4.3, anyway, which previously bombed out right
at the start.

Regards,
Malcolm
