This, and the bump to b68, also seems to have broken the IcedTea7
bootstrap:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/pipermail/testresults/2009-August/000109.html
Note the "java.lang.ClassFormatError: CompilePropertiesTask
(unrecognized class file version)". I assume that is because some
-target output is used for a .class file too early in the bootstrap and
either the compiler or runtime used doesn't support it yet.

Cheers,

Mark
