Ok. Thanks.
I was also trying to set up a working cortexa7 qemu machine some months ago,
but apparently failed too ;-)

Yeah, it would be great to have one in oe-core (or at least meta-java) to
fully automate our tests.

I'll send a patch for that.

Another question: have you checked if the aarch32 port works for ARMv6?
I'm just curious because openjdk.java.net/projects/aarch32-port/ says:

	The port will be fully compatible with ARMv7 and may support ARMv6
	depending on community interest.
