Not sure how predictable this build error is, filing a bug so that when we fix it we have a record of the fix.

N/A

It appears like the make pattern rule is not finding this file, when all indications are that the file exists. So why does the pattern rule fail? Only seen this on Linux 32bit so far.

If the openjdk source came from an openjdk source bundle, then there could be a missing LICENSE file.
The openjdk source bundle logic was changed via 6637369 and this problem might be solved now, need to test again.

It appears that jprt at least reproduces this because only the make and src directories were bundled and not the top files in the repository.  So at least one fix is fixing the jprt.properties file for the jdk repository.

There were some LICENSE like files in jdk/make that have been removed. For open builds, files like LICENSE are copied from the top of the repository and into the jdk and jre images.

This bug will be used to fix the problem with the jprt.properties file.
