Okay. How about all the other packages that depend on bouncycastle? Do
they need rebuilt?

I'm really curious about the explanation. :)

Ah, I thought I did this before. I verified that it works. I'll
rebuild the bouncycastle* packages with AOT bits.

That's a harmless old habit. Back in the day when we had icedtea, it
was providing java 1.7. Then when we switched to openjdk, it started
providing java 1:1.6 (note the epoch).
1:1.6 is always greater than 1.7 and the above BR and R covers both
icedtea and openjdk but leaves gcj out..


But now that I see that the jar files can be produced by just gcj, I
will lower 1.7 to 1.5
