corba/make/common/shared/Defs-java.gmk contains the following line

JAVAHFLAGS += -bootclasspath $(CLASSBINDIR)

This line looks like a cut-n-paste error from jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-java.gmk where the line is correct.

In the JDK workspace , it is appropriate to set the javah bootclasspath to (just) $(CLASSBINDIR), but in the corba workspace, this means you're setting it to a location without core java classes, like java.lang.*.   This is somewhat unreasonable for any java tool that is going to try and process classes found on the classpath. In particular, it breaks with the upcoming new javah.

N/A

Yes. a bootclasspath without java.lang.* is bad.
