--- Comment #2 from Nicholas Hardison <nicholas.hardison at gmail.com> ---
It isn't practical to recompile the jdk in this environment due to its location
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 able
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).
